Small or big….. always enjoy stone sculpting…

1) Why do I use VHS in my Art?

It's not to just look "retro."

Combining obsolete and cutting edge technology is an aesthetic intervention that lets me transport the viewer outside of their present reality. It's not Here, and it's not Then, so it makes you ask... When?

2) I evoke these mediums of the past in my unique way to serve as a method of conveyance, so you receive my transmissions differently from the multitude of images beaming into your brain at any given moment.

I want to transport you to a dimension of my own definition.

3) From this techno-mystical space, new perspectives emerge.

The Weirdness and the Humor of our Now can be enjoyed from outside looking in – we can gather around the shadow puppets and laugh at our folly in believing any of it to be real.

4) Analog Video Art has a long tradition, and I see my digital-analog hybridization as a means of carrying its torch forward with us into the metaverse.

I use VHS, the last of the physical image mediums, as a reminder to bring our souls with us into the landscape of the spirit.

5) As @erik_davis says in "Techgnosis,"

"The analog world sticks to the grooves of the soul – warm, undulating, worn with the pops and scratches of material history. The digital world boots up the cool matrix of the spirit: luminous, abstract, more code than corporeality..."

An emanation…

The essence is in everything & all is within the essence.

Let's have a look at some art. Why are children being sacrificed and to whom? These are real pieces of art. Why do they even exist. Some hundreds of years old

New thread on values! What does pixel art have to do with value grouping in painting? It’s all down to a concept I call *dithering*. We are naturally very good at seeing small differences, and this is not helpful for painting, because we need to see differences *between* things.

Have you ever done a study of a painting and found yourself zooming in, only to zoom out and find that it was only getting worse? This is because of focusing on small differences too early. How do we even get started with all of these patterns and materials here?
