Running the Numbers: An American Self-Portrait

without comments

Running the Numbers
An American Self-Portrait

Running the Numbers looks at contemporary American culture through the austere lens of statistics. Each image portrays a specific quantity of something: fifteen million sheets of office paper (five minutes of paper use); 106,000 aluminum cans (thirty seconds of can consumption) and so on. My hope is that images representing these quantities might have a different effect than the raw numbers alone, such as we find daily in articles and books. Statistics can feel abstract and anesthetizing, making it difficult to connect with and make meaning of 3.6 million SUV sales in one year, for example, or 2.3 million Americans in prison, or 32,000 breast augmentation surgeries in the U.S. every month.

This project visually examines these vast and bizarre measures of our society, in large intricately detailed prints assembled from thousands of smaller photographs. Employing themes such as the near versus the far, and the one versus the many, I hope to raise some questions about the roles and responsibilities we each play as individuals in a collective that is increasingly enormous, incomprehensible, and overwhelming.

CAST, AWAY!!!!

without comments

If it were only that simple. Illustrator extraordinaire, Taylor White, recently busted ass in what some would describe as an epic acrobatic gravity defying swan-dive into the Norwegian snow via snowboard. The end result was a broken wrist and 8 weeks recovery time. It just so happened that this feat occurred the week before she was due for a visit to the U.S. of A. I was thusly wrangled into making this old school plaster cast (they do things funky in Norway apparently) into an awesome work of art. The end result can be seen beloooooow!!!

Vlam Test

without comments

Uzun süre önce Fusion için ilginç ve bedava bir plugin buldum. Vlam ismindeki bu plugin çeşitli matematik hesaplamalarla oluşturduğu noktalar ile dizilim yoğunluklarını ve eğimlerini değiştirerek değişik ve güzel animasyonlar hazırlıyor.
Plugin‘i biraz zorlamak adına çok yüksek çözünürlükte bir animasyon denemesi yaptım. Sonuç olarak aynı çözünürlükte çalışan (yada çalışmaya çalışan) diğer pluginlerle yaklaşık bir hız verdi. En azından makinam kitlenmedi ve işin sonuna kadar sağlam bir şekilde çalışmayı başardım. (İş yerinde butür denemeler olmaz iş yeri iş yeridir ayrıca güçlü bilgisayarlarda orda durur. Bu tür gereksiz denemeler evde yapılır, dolayısıyla kasılma ve çökmeler normaldir.) Bu arada denediğim çözünürlük 5k pixel’in biraz üzerindeydi.
