Sarah Nind:北京上海之幻象 - 融合虚拟与现实
Sarah Nind 出生于Borneo成长在加拿大。Sarah的艺术作品采用了油画和赋予作品清晰质感的照片处理过程。由此产生的图像把摄影的特性展示作一种感性而又富有诗意的媒介 -- 是一种"真实"的记录装置。与此同时,图像被通过绘画的整合所改变。这个能超越字面描述的绘画表面,被称为一种用作表达和记录情绪状态和主观现实的层面。说是戏剧性的叙事,其实Sarah的作品更多的是在质疑历史,时间的构筑就好比一种直系的进程,和存在于现实虚拟之间的区别。
Vincent Goetz - Digital Meditations
For American photographer, Vince Goetz, photography is all about technology as a means of revealing what he sees - which isn't always what other people or even the camera lens sees. The advent of digital photography interested Vince not only because the process has essentially become a green technology, but it set his own imagination free to go beyond what the camera saw. Although Vince is conservative in his image manipulation, it's clear that every once in a while he pushes the limits of his own and the viewer's imagination. Vince says, "I find that one of the most appealing parts of photography is to create images where the eyes rest in the image, and I strive to create images where the eyes and the brain relax. In a sense they are pieces of meditation, visions of the complexity of the world we are a part of." His micro-studies of rusted metal and deteriorating materials are particularly engaging - and when printed on canvass, they take on the texture and look of the hides of imaginary animals. It's like seeing hides from Steven Spielberg created creatures ready to be made into cutting edge purses and shoes.
Vincent Goetz:数码沉思
作为一个美国摄影师,对Vince来说,摄影就是一种把他所见事物展现出来的技术手段 - 他的所见并不总是被别人或者相机所记录。数码摄影的出现激发起Vince的热情,不仅仅是因为它从根本上变成了一种绿色科技,而且让影像远远超越了镜头所能记录的范围。虽然Vince在他的图像处理上稍显保守,但很显然每隔一段时间,他就推进了自己的限制与观者的想象力。Vince说:"我觉得摄影最有吸引力的部分,就是在图像中眼睛休息的地方创造图像,我努力营造可以让眼睛和大脑放松的图像。从某种意义上来说,它们是沉思的片刻,是我们所属于的复杂世界的幻象。"他对生锈金属和衰退物质的微观研究是最具吸引力的,当印刷在画布上时,那种质地就像是想象中的动物皮革。这就像是斯蒂芬斯皮尔伯格创造出的生物皮革,随时可被制成钱包或是鞋子。
