Material Cosmologies project / series 4, manifest 1 - Limited Edition 1 of 3 Photograph

That which primarily interests me in my work is the expansion and exploration of new edges through the incorporation of technological means in the creative process. With it, the development of an aesthetic intuition that belongs to the current rushing transition and hybridization and which echoes the quest for ephemeral references and slowdowns that accompanies it. Matter, its dynamic qualities and underestimated ‘imagination’, is the underlying metaphor and actual substance I use while generating my works. The incorporation of technology allows me an exposure and investigation at multiple scales and durations within a painting process. So while dynamic ‘material processes’ provide me an unlimited set of brushes, technology operates as my multiple and asynchronous organ of capturing. The media I ‘paint’ upon has migrated along projects from the solidity of canvases, to papers, to overlaid films and to liquid mediums in Petri dishes. The technological means include different techniques of scanning (large scale, 2D, 3D), magnification of still photography, image rendering on different media (hand made paper, perplex, canvas, metal) and the human technology of collaboration and mediation of expression. None of these works can be thought of as a lone artist and his brushes, they all demand intense stages of collaborations.
