Digital Imaging and
Beyond
·
Do we still believe in a photograph? OH YEA
BUDDY!
· Photographs can be reality or they can be illusion or an illusion of reality or reality of a illusion- that is ok. It is all some form of reality.
· Digital images are not tangible and are made out of numbers, making it possible to manipulate.
Jerry Ulesmann vs not Jerry Ulesmann
Nancy Burson
· right looks like
· Lots of artists are starting to create digital images with appropriated internet images without ever using a camera
· Started creating this at MIT before the computer was an everyday tool
· MIT created a program for aging that the FBI and CIA use.-What is it called?
· Creates interesting portraiture, typographical.
· 5 famous female starlets that were considered beautiful= constitutes what beauty is in this particular era. “Biological Beauty”
· Left Totalitarianism. Right Leaders of countries with the largest nuclear stockpile. Archetypes of a “nuclear nightmare”
· left Anthropological view of early man. Right 1983 composite of ratios for human kind in America.
· “The Human Race Machine”
Daniel Lee
· Art based off of data and faces and metamorphosis. This method becomes popular and easier to accomplish.
· He didn’t really care how it came out, but he wanted to create iimages no one had seen before.
· Manimal, (shown above) this is the Chinese zodiac
Christopher Dorley- Brown
· English town of Haverhill
· Melds people that come to his booth, up to 2000 images taken. Morphs them all together. “The new portrait” collected images of everyday human beings. This slide shows a completion with 2000 images, could be more, could be less.
· Question what shows identity of these people and what is photographic truth. Is this reality, is this a portrait of these people? It is new portraiture should it be called post portraiture.
Jason Salavon
· This guy uses media data with a software program. He took 100 centerfold images and mathematically averaged them together to create the next slide. He blends them that emphasizes the idea of the “playboy” model.
· 60, 70, 80, 90
· very anthropological work.
· Constructs moments with inference to memory and how you can remember it. There is a visual code. How do we characterize a photo? What makes it wedding, graduation, Santa?
· 100 realtor images taken from the web. Left Miami Right Seattle.
· Generalizes landscapes and how environment is. One is more vivid the other is muted and grey. Sara says Seattle has too many earthquakes so all houses have siding instead of brick or stucco.
· Now you can be a photographer without ever picking up a camera. It has become very democratic.
· Write a response about what is a photograph?
Loretta Lux
· She does photograph these people, super realistic photographic paintings that are not paintings.
· She manipulates it so much that she doesn’t show the real children. She is showing them detached and trying to show cold and distance nature of the view of the world.
· She creates the backdrops or hires someone. Hyper-realistic images that shows grim nature of children and adolescence.
· Manipulates the proportions of these children. They look almost as if they have had plastic surgery. Unnaturally posed. Adult in a sense.
Gillian Wearing
· We have visited this artist once before.
· Album Series, photographs herself disguised as her family. She reenacts these old photographs from her family albums. Represents the memory of the idea of the photograph. Instead of just combining these images together she wants to show the connection of them to her and the moment. She sends these photos to a team that creates these masks for this series. Very perfomative.
· What is she saying? Our understanding of these people, moments, events, are profoundly affected by photography and the photographs produced at and for this moment. Representation of herself through a representation of her family and a representation of the photo and a representation of the moment.
· She wants us to view ourselves when we were younger and see if we even recognize ourselves anymore. How we are represented in private and in public is what she is interest in. How photography is a public thing.
Craig Kalpakjian
· Create work on how corporate spaces look according to his memory and the internet. Archetypes of corporate spaces using 3D maps and software.
· Why do we think it is not interesting? Sara does cause we are documenting the documentation of us. It is not interesting as an image, but it is conceptually, especially since it is made without a photograph. Phantom photographer.
· Photographs can be reality or they can be illusion or an illusion of reality or reality of a illusion- that is ok. It is all some form of reality.
· Digital images are not tangible and are made out of numbers, making it possible to manipulate.
