NEW MEDIA

 

The imagery in these websites is in the NEW MEDIA genre of conceptual art.

The catalog of 250 TB’s of workable, ultra high resolution digital content is only available to the creative and his/her clients through my websites.

While working in the ToTheTrade.gallery website the digital content is designed and constructed to provide the creative with resources - digital files, prints, licenses and copyrights - not available elsewhere.

 

COMPLICATIONS 2016/2017
A CATALOG OF DIGITAL CONTENT

 

The catalog has been in development since 2008, in part based upon straight ahead photography began in 2005. The catalog of digital files has been developed in GENERATIONS. HOLOGRAMS, currently under development, is the fifth generation.

This generational development facilitates both creative and process development leading to technological and creative proprietary break throughs. These break throughs are then used to develop new themes, stories, and images including:

  1. Mid layer ARTIFACTS mimic DEEP SPACE;
  2. Multiple layer MOIRE and dimensional PATTERNS seen in INFINITY;
  3. Moire BREAKDOWN as seen in UNIVERSES and KINETIC ANOMALIES;
  4. ANALOG to DIGITAL conversions of line drawings as seen in the CUT OUT and MOIRE series;
  5. SHAPED ARTIFACTS in the GLOBAL WINDS ALOFT series;
  6. LIGHT’s captive information as seen in THE COSMOS.

We live in a complex universe and nothing is isolated. These two concepts are at the compositional foundation of the catalog. The design and development of highly complex work files are at the center of the catalog’s logical development. These complexities represent our lives and our world. The file sizes range from 1 GB to 90 GB in size and are all of ultra high resolution which means the applications for this digital content are practically unlimited - some of these applications are:

  1. Fine art and collaborations in conceptual art - visualizing concepts in NEW MEDIA and OP ART;
  2. Graphic and interior design;
  3. Advertising and branding;
  4. Educational systems;
  5. R & D into future applications;

Apparent, mathematical and physical 3 dimensional work has been executed. Some imagery has been placed in motion. Going forward, these areas, along with asymmetrical detail work and silhouettes of form and shape, particularly in the HOLOGRAMS portfolio, will be expanded using both existing and new content. Research is underway for new installations.  

In 2016 over 19,000 files were copyrighted and LOC registered. Later this year I will make another registration of new works as a part of an annual registration process.

THE BRAND

 

The strategic massing of the catalog enables a broad range of offerings of NEW MEDIA, 3D and INSTALLATION works. From its conceptualization ten years ago; throughout it’s development; and in new work this body of work serves as a launching pad for the use of digital content in current and unforeseen applications, many of which are collaborative.

The applications of digital content are distributed through a network of linked websites in which each website deals with a specific application or user and artist peer group - labels within the brand. The websites are linked allowing the viewer to move from room to room of a NEW MEDIA exhibition. Specifically:

INSTAGRAM portfolio presents series in compositional development.
