Topic 6: Process

Significance: An important aspect of my photo abstract work has been the process itself and asking the question: is it to remain hidden or it becomes the very essence? As a quick comparison between the 2 opposites: work by Dave Ford - Truck Drawings which reveal how they were made and Wolfgang Tillmanns' Blushes. I could not find how the Blushes were made and the public, unlike in many other cases, don't seem to care about the making either.

Quotes
1) "My own engagement with digital art has, in general, little to do with technology. Thematically, the work is about interdependence, perception, social interaction, attention, awareness, concentration, metaphor, and spirituality. What seems to make the work successful is that viewers are unaware of the technology. And I believe this is the characteristic of most successful artwork – to transcend the medium, becoming more purely the idea being transmitted. " Scott Snibbe,

2) "Unlike a conventional camera Nadia has no display of the photographs to be taken, but rather gives the judgment of aesthetic quality to the machine, displaying only a current rating as feedback about when and what to snap."
