Angela Baker - Limited Edition 1 of 5 Artwork

This series of digitally created portraits are an exploration of the concept of history, aging and the passing of time applied to the realm of digital video and time based source material. Each portrait is a character from various horror films, some are the villains, some are the victims. A moving image clip can be thought of as a series of images played one after the other, like a flip book. With digital video clips, when a clip is compressed, the first frame contains all of the picture information, and subsequent frames contain just the directions for where to move the pixels in order to save space. By replacing the initial frame with a difference image, I have applied a technique that causes the computer to move the pixels of one video clip in the manner intended for a different one. This creates a new distinct and unified combination of the two wherein the properties of both clips are fused into one. By then combining individual frames from several of these altered video clips into one still image, the end result is a combination of multiple moments in time being represented simultaneously. The final pieces are archival pigment prints on wood panels that are strikingly painterly in their portrayal of cubist notions of space as well as a visual representation of Einstein's Theory of Special Relativity and it's unifying of space and time.
