Julie Monaco

In her series of pictures cs_0 Julie Monaco creates an artificial, abstracted reality. Wild and romantic nature is a purely digital creation resulting from a process of computing. It is based on numbers, on numerical code. The image is neither based on specific models such as photographs or scans, nor is it generated on the basis of the real thing. The pictures are created by means of software tools which are defined by several computer programmes in terms of selection and parameters. A three-dimensional model developed that way is visualised by means of rendering, i.e. optically upgraded by computer-aided processes (algorithms).

Although the representation (the computed image) seems diametrically opposed to that which is depicted (nature), there is a specific analogy between the two media: the fractal which links computer technology and nature as the smallest commondenominator.

One of my works has been commissioned to this Micronation/collective in Vienna, Austria.

State of Sabotage
SoS is a secular, sovereign and democratic state.

The formation "Sabotage" was founded by artist Robert Jelinek in the area of the Documenta IX in Kassel in June 1992. Sabotage" began operating in 1992 as a small project and collective, later 1994 as Sabotage Communications- an art organisation and music label, than a union of various sublabels brought together by their shared way of thinking and similar style of expression through different media. Since 1992 more than 100 international "public sabotages" have taken place in form of performances, actions, events and exhibitions. There are a number of flexible subdivisions which emerge as the needs arise and dissolve under their own inertia. Each of the sublabels primarily works within its medium, nevertheless their bonds are firm and fruitful.

SoS PEST MEDIC
Artist: Robert Jelinek

Where negativity expires, natural catastrophes inscribe an unmistakable mark of violence, a valuable and supernatural sign of negation. The plague quarantine and the failure to appear in court paraphrase the state of emergency: the return of the elemental in its inversion. To defy today’s infections, the SoS pest medics roved the globe on a mission to cleanse it through nasal seduction. The SoS pest medic is also the State grail. Figure made in porcelain
Colour: Black or white
Edition of 10 each. Signed and dated.

L I N K

At the moment I really like Karen Constance's stuff:







Other than that I enjoy the usual tat. Dada stuff especially, Man Ray's Rayographs are a favourite. The films of Toshio Matsumoto.

i really like those images.

Hey, Bunbury.. I showed this picture to a conervative Republican on another board and he said "Photographers walk a fine line as it is. While there is an art to taking good photographs, I barely consider photographers to be artists. This is garbage."

Interesting response, huh?

ha ha yes. that was "interesting" only from a zoological point of view.

Bill Sienkiewicz

yes, comic books can be art.

RALPH STEADMAN

Yes, I think he is. I responded by just posting more pictures I thought he wouldn't like. He hasn't said anything else yet.

I'm glad I stopped by, those are amazing.

One of my favorite artists is Therese Oulton, I can't find any decent images of her earlier work which is a shame. Here's a few anyway
