Color-Strips

September 28th, 2010

Building specific cameras to capture abstractions in color. Wants to address the crisis of DSLR cameras by introducing a timeline of cameras and physically building them. He is also struggling with the evolution of the timeline series of his color studies and showcase the equipment used. Would want the work to be user-generated. What is this timeline? The representation of the limitations of having a camera (in the 1800′s) to how everyone now has the ability to document using photography.

Critique:
Craig Kalpakjian: Unclear about the division of who is the artist, who is the photographer.

Gavin Stewart: I want to create mechanical objects due to my mechanical background. That the artists created the tools for then the public to use.

Craig Kalpakjian: Related to cinema, you should look into Jonathan Trundle’s slit-screen cameras he created for his thesis.

Gavin Stewart: I want in the end to create an algorithm that would take stills from a video and then abstract them.

Kim Llerena: I am confused between the color-strips versus this anger for the commodification of camera recording. It is two separate commentaries.

John McNeil: The usage of an analog device in an exhibition seems to be contradicting.

Lloyd Lowe, Jr.: The only thing I can grasp, is that cameras at their discovery, hobbyists invade the better camera.

Kim Llerena: Artistry and accessibility could come out in a different way. The popularization of the photographic medium.

Craig Kalpakjian: The fertile ground is in the push between the abstracted image of an obvious “real” place. The x-axis becomes time; and the potential a time and space study.
