About the Video Rhythmologies Series
The Video Rhythmologies combine digital video stills into large scale canvases in the manner of the photographic typologies — visual classification systems of composition — pioneered by artists August Sander, Bernd and Hilla Becher, and Ed Ruscha. Computational media techniques, such as video synthesis and post-processing methods, are utilized to create complex spatial tapestries. The source video of the first works in the series are drawn from my collections of vj loops.
An additional interest with these works is that, since they are produced at 16K and 32K resolution, they can make for very large scale wall-hung prints, architectural scale projections and media facades or even ‘stained glass’ windows using ceramic ink technology. Typically digital art in general and video frames in particular are too low a resolution to be made into very large fine art prints or work at architectural scales. With this series, I am exploring the possibilities of experimental video at large scales for home, work or public display on UHD screens where video resolution — the overall pixel count — is continuously increasing.
Exhibitions
Solo Show at the Martin Art Gallery, the gallery of Muhlenberg College, forthcoming in 2023. The show will focus on my vj loops and the 2D art I make from them. Curated by Gallery Director, Jessica Ambler, PhD.
