With this image I experimented with the explicit digital aesthetic, disregarding any custom brushes/attempts to look handmade;
Looks too rushed, however has the innocent quality seen in Hockney's iPad Art. This was purely an experiment to see, when accompanied by a video of the process, how value is created when every brush stroke is recorded and displayed.
I think this concept is interesting because it shows the journey that was undergone to reach the final stage, which helps the audience understand the work that has gone into the image, therefore adding value to a digitally created piece. And also I feel like THIS CREATES AURA.
In terms of promoting values of authenticity and craft, I feel that my final outcomes need to display work that has had a large amount of time go into it, despite it being digitally created. I am happy that I have been able to create a video however, as it will be a key component in the final window display, which creates a more honest view of the product created - what you see is what you get.
Feedback
- I got some good feedback about this little exhibition I created and how it does create authenticity.
- Things that look digital are taken for granted and just assumed that they are mass produced/reproduced images so the when it is an original makes you think.
- The video helps you to understand that the artist is making it, and the computer doesn't do all the work?
