Robert Canali

Found some inspiring art work tonight by Robert Canali. His work is like wow, cool.

The idea of digesting the medium I am working with ie: film/photography and breaking it down into it's basic elements is something I find interesting visually and conceptually. This idea is present in Canalis work:

"Every Thing Gone comprises vintage prints, family photos, snaps shots
and “art” photographs, collaborating in an interchangeable narrative.
This is not a delineation of genres but a selection of the types of
photographs that exist within the medium itself. "

It can also be seen in his use of; primary colours, colour film, light and mirrors.

-colour - rgb/cmyk
-light
-space
-mirror - all present in the medium of photography.

I think his work is interesting because it mixes the genres of photography elegantly and not intrusively or in a way that makes the images clash. There is enough continuity to bring them together as a body of work. He has made an interesting use of space by using mirrors to create optical tricks and compositions.

MO-CO - Mole Constellations

Did some photos of mole constellations, wouldn't normally invert a photo but I think in this instance it really works. Wonder if you can invert stuff in the dark room, that'd be cool to shoot on film then print them inverted. Inverted makes it look instantly spacey.

When I first looked on google images for mole constealltions I seen everything I thought I would - people drawing lines between moles, arsey black and white photos of moles and I thought meh it's all been done before but i've managed to make something quite different of it so I'm happy with that.

I had a small epiphany during the weekend as I thought about my idea with the hidden camera - CCTV portrait. Instead of hiding the camera I thought why not expose the camera?

It is the hidden camera that often exposes the person so the roles are now reversed- expose the camera instead of the person.

After listening to Olafur Elliason talking about his work on moma.org I felt really inspired by the idea of "seeing yourself seeing".

The mirror is there to resemble the image that the camera might be picking up. I think I would either not show the image that the camera is picking up or I would show it in another part of the building. There is this instant misconception because of the mirror you sort of forget about what the camera is seeing.

However, I think it could be interesting not to show what information the camera is picking up as this may make people think about how often their image is captured by a camera but they never see the footage. There would probably be an element of frustration about this but I think that makes it more interesting.

I thought what's the point of involving hidden cameras when that's something I find quite horrible about day to day life. I don't like the connotations of spying on people and I don't think that I want to make people feel uncomfortable at the thought of this so I would rather they know they are being watched by a camera but maybe they will never see what is see's only what they are seeing.

hmmmmm

DATA MOSH LION

so cool, I got this data mosh last night at the start of my very legit copy of Vicki, Christina Barcelona..... The lion started moshing and then flashed green and pink pixels at me. It was beautiful but my screen grab was not fast enough to catch it in all its glory! This is what I got!
