Inflation of visual information I. - Limited Edition 3 of 3 Photograph

Some questions/answers to consider: - What is the subject matter of my work? I focused on the problems of intertwining the digital and analogue worlds, fascinated by the boom of visual information, display errors, data loss, and privacy. Since 2015, I've been working with Google searches and added contemporary themes to my work. - What is my work about? I've been long time preoccupied with new media and photography, and perceives it as a sovereign aesthetic visual form and at the same time examines how to extend its expressive possibilities. The games with flat geometry in photography, boldly competing or complementing the world of traditional painting, represent however only one layer of my creative process. The other, in fact the original, focus in my work is on the visual movement in the depths of the digital space with all its limitations, world of media mistakes created by sophisticated graphic imaging or search systems. - How do I make my work? According to the traditional methods of photography, printing and painting. - Where do I find the images I use? All around, from what we search for, what we care about on the network. I only use the world and the people around me. - How do I want the audience to respond to my work? To think and look at the current problems with distance and in the confrontation of my thoughts, to look at the visual side of things and say, this is pure and yet I see the story. - How does my work compare to historical or contemporary artwork? My work is react on my way to contemporary problems in focus on traditional paintings. I use minimalist colour “errors“ to construct a new reality that may be linked to the “original“ artwork. A similar situation occurred with the analogue trend in visual abstract painting in the last decade of the last century. Importantly, the collection is not supposed to represent a battle between the two media - painting and photography. Its focus is on expanding the possibilities of abstract aesthetic imagery and as such it also conveys a slight warning against the flood of photographs and equally the endless need for an aesthetic grasp of the world surrounding us. ______________________________________ Jan Dyntera Contemporary artist - lives and works in Prague.
