#LIGHTPAPER CONVERSION ISSUES FREE#
I work with spaces that are free of copyright restrictions, are often public domain or creative commons, and what I produce follows the same principles. Each work is experimental and unique, and not definitive or exclusive in terms of either the artist or the format. When making video in Second Life, I regard just recording the three-dimensional objects made by others as a failure – I should add my own creative interpretation, and it is in the rhythm of editing that I introduce my ideas of meaning (Merleau-Ponty 1964, 57). The technical aspects of the process are secondary, although still relevant and of interest.ģIn this way of working, formats cease to be simple categories or labels or fixed dimensions, but are available to be played with in a process of constant reinterpretation and translation. I see this as playing with the light-space-time structures to allow the image to shine (McKenzie 71).
J’ai utilisé la technique de photogravure, une méthode artisanale de pressage mécanique, pour retravailler des images fixes de l'art vidéo, traduire la lumière à l’écran par des jeux d’encre sur le papier et ainsi explorer le format depuis un autre angle. Je monte les vidéos numériques en mixant des films d’archives numérisés, de la musique contemporaine et de la littérature et propose d’explorer comment le travail de plusieurs créateurs produit des sens différents par le biais de la réinterprétation et de la traduction.
Je fais de l’art vidéo à partir du monde virtuel de Second Life, m’inspirant de son jeu de textures bidimensionnelles et d’objets tridimensionnels. L’art vidéo peut jouer avec l’espace, la lumière, le son, et les matériaux, y compris des éléments visuels et audio. Les formats possèdent un éventail de qualités interactives que la recherche pratique peut explorer, mettant ainsi à l’épreuve la théorie. Going from moving image to still images changes the relationship with time and distance, and from ratios in pixels to dimensions in millimetres. Taking still images from that video art into printmaking using photogravure etching, a hand-crafted method of mechanically pressing ink on paper, considers the translation of light on screen to ink on paper, and explores format from another position.
#LIGHTPAPER CONVERSION ISSUES ARCHIVE#
Editing this virtual world digital video with digitised archive film, contemporary music and literature explores how the formats used by multiple creators across time can interact, so exploring meanings through reinterpretation and translation. I make video art out of the virtual world of Second Life with its interplay of two-dimensional textures and three-dimensional objects. Video art can play with space, light and sound, through a choice of materials, including visuals and audio. Formats have an interacting range of qualities that practice based research can explore, so testing and questioning theory they are more than dimensions.
