My work focuses on the potential for new forms utilizing computer aided design that would present a paradigm shift in representation and photographic imagery. While traditional photography has always been connected to the capturing/indexing of light, my work explores the abilities of digital imaging to shatter that physical connection to a more radical position of the photographic image as a data set that can be rendered through a computer virtually. I see this work as addressing the emancipatory possibilities of photography’s loss of the index. I am interested in the ideas of loss and re-framing within this paradigm and consistently re-evaluate the products of Modernism utilizing this contemporary mode of representation. I am complicating the discourse around mechanical and digital reproduction, the simulated and the real, the representational and the abstract, the painting and the photograph, the constructed and the staged. |
