Aziz & Cucher
o
Dystopia
Attacking the pure way of how to work with
numbers, & Shoot their own images
Look for any content on them. – Artist
Talks, Etc.
Photojournalists
Been collaborating since late 80’s (sculpture now) – first to
use photoshop in context of fine art
Talking about new technology in our lives,
it dictates us politically, socially, and can use the tech to transform
ourselves from known to unknown.
Gradual loss of identity. Via technology
Very negative viewpoint
Well disseminated in media (fine art,
NYTimes, etc.) about tech
o
Interiors
Living skin into 3-d architecture space.
Transformation that occurs when looking at
a photograph. A photograph is a translation of that thing.
Image context comes from the illusion of
reality that photography gives us.
Very detailed skin, grafted onto in-human
surface.
Inseperable relationship between humans and
technology and how it creates an illusion of human kind.
Creating
their own decisive moment
Mathieu Bernard-Reymond
o
Constructed photographer who uses multiple
shots, to appear documentary.
One frame with multiple iterations
of the same person.
Time representation, is skewed.
Where all of these people here together? How much time is passing in this one
photo? 1 hour? A whole day?
Making a photo as a director.
Very Theatrical and performance
based.
Subjects might not know they are
being photographed
New photographic surface that asks
how much do we have to show to count as a document.
90s-now
Beate Gutschow compare to my artists
o
Looks like 17th & 18th
Century Landscape Photographs
Totally constructed landscapes.
Most ideal landscape
Slight imperfections, because other ways it
looks to good to be true
Criticizing how typical landscapes look in
our memory (postcards, Ansel adams, etc.) And therefore all photography
o B&w
series
Constructed city
landscapes
Just seem slightly
off.
Doesn’t list
locations, of compilation
What makes a good
Landscape?
Nancy Davenport
o Looks
like Terrorist Act
Making them be part
of modern apartment facades.
We immediately look
at them as events. (see all the signs of typical news images like this)
Creating tension
within the image
Post – Photo
Journalism Psychalogical Photography
Joan Foncuberta
o Landscapes Without Memory
Uses software
“Teragon” to translates maps into virtual image
Does this with
famous art and photography – scientific software to see virtual image
Re-enforcing image
science > truth
Mixing how we think
about science & using the illusion of photography
**testing the truth
of the photographic surface by creating fictitious photographs. (everyone from
today)
calls them post
landscapes.
“technologically-defined
contemporary hallucinations”
When it’s applied
digitally it becomes acceptable
Richard Galpin
o Works
with his photographs Prints them out and then cuts them out.
Scores the emulsion
off of it.
Subtracts
information to reveal another reality
Creating one of a
kind works.
About construction
and deconstruction
Rudd Van Empel
o Fairytales
of black children
So perfect it seems
off
Satirizing children’s
world …. Trailed off, came back * using black children to satirize the perfect
world that white children are usually in. New standard where black children are
in the storybooks.
They look like
creatures
Very meticulously
composed
Didn’t talk about the
white kid photos
Maggie Taylor
o Based
on 19th century tin-types/daguerreotypes
-scratches and
color variations
scans and digitally
manipulates real tintypes
very painterly
quality
blurring genres
between painting and photography
uses taxidermy, and
scans with 3-d scanner.
-accentuates the
fairytale quality
Maki Kawakita
o Japanese
artist living in NY – does High Fashion
Uses digital photo
technology, developed instantly recognizable work.
Hevily influenced
by Japanese pop culture & young peoples minds in 90’s pop culture
Traditional
Japanese opera (Kabuki) as poses
Strong influence for
Min *umm yeah
Cao Fei
o Digital
manipulated photo who reflects where she’s from
Chinese culture –
rapid industrialization and urbanization
Impermanence in 20th
century China
West meets east
Worker practicing tai
chi in the factory
VIDEO – What is Conceptual
Photography (Part 3)
World Press Awards – Afghanistan
compared to Korea very similar(Soldiers at War)
How much do we need to see to act as
a mark of that event?
Embedded in War – Rules of
photography – no artifacts of conflict.
Deleted the photos at the end of
each day.
The inverse of conceptual
photography
Exposed photo paper roll instead of
taking photograph
-What do you expect to see?
Were allowed to go because they said
they were photojournalists not artists
Questioning photojournalists role in
censorship.
