“Darren Almond (1971, England) is an artist based in London. He works in a variety of media, most notably photography and film, which he uses to explore the effects of time on the individual. Almond travels to remote locations that reveal an emptiness of the human spirit while challenging the sense of one’s own isolation and insignificance.”

No sé qué eres, pero te quiero.

Confieso que no me tomo muy en serio el videoarte (probablemente porque me hace chirriar los dientes que una disciplina, sea la que sea, incluya la palabra ‘arte’ en su propio nombre así por la cara) pero cuando veo estas cosas me tengo que callar la boca.

Le he cogido cariño a estas peculiares ventanitas a vidas inventadas. Me parece la hostia hacer algo así con una foto, tres crops y menos de 160 caracteres.
Morpho Towers de Sachiko Kodama.
When there is no magnetic field, the tower appears to be a simple spiral shape. But when the magnetic field around the tower is strengthened, spikes of ferrofluid are born; at the same time, the tower’s surface dynamically morphs into a variety of textures ranging from soft fluid to minute moss, or to spiky shark’s teeth, or again to a hard iron surface. The ferrofluid, with its smooth, black surface that seems to draw people in, reaches the top of the tower, spreading like a fractal, defying gravity.

Yep, it’s a painting.

Michelangelo’s First Painting”
“Every supernova starts as a modest spark. Even Michelangelo began his career with less than Sistine-worthy work. What, exactly, was he doing? According to the 16th-century art-stargazer Giorgio Vasari, the master’s virgin effort was a smallish, slightly customized painted copy of a German print.”
Miguel Ángel, como todos, también fue jebi con 13.
Well… it’s a start.

How much money will go into one of your collages?
Most of any given piece has only a single layer of paper on it, so you can tell about how many bills go in by imagining the surface covered once by whole bills, plus a few extra for what overlap there is. In the studio we keep hoppers of bills separated into parts to use piece by piece as well as binders of prepared texture swatches and collaged passages to add wholesale. I love all the process. For some of the collages we track how many scraps of paper are glued down. I see that sort of accounting as an interesting extension of the material. When “Liberty” is complete, for example, we’ll be able give statistics on each of her 13 panels individually, and also say that the whole thing took 1234 bills cut into 54,234 pieces, or whatever, and here’s all the scraps we didn’t use.
He should go on forever, but I suppose it only takes two or three more iterations to drive even the most commited painter completely nuts. Man, what an artistic statement that would be! In the future, galleries and collectors would refer to this guy’s best pieces with phrases like “I am selling an 8th iteration Gravinese” and value them basing on the number of meta-reinterpretations.
