by Carlos Cuevas While reading Art in the Age of Digital Distribution, one artist that caught my attention was Natalie Bookchin. Bookchin creatively utilizes the strategy of appropriation, borrowing elements to create something new, in her work. Upon researching some of Bookchin’s work, I came across Zorns Lemma2. Zorns Lemma2 is a 12 minute remake of…

One artist mentioned in “Art in the Age of Digital Distribution”that interested me was Mark Napier. Napier’s interest in internet-based works is what grabbed my attention. The thing about the internet is that it is accessible by millions of people all around the world. Through my extended research of Napier I came across his “Digital Landfill” project.  The…

While reading Art in the Age of Digital Distribution, I came across Hannah Hoch who was sort of a familiar name to me. Hannah Hoch was a dadaist who was one of the originators of photomontage. Photomontage involved gluing images onto paper and creating full images made out of cutouts. Hoch who was influenced by…

          While reading Art in the Age of Digital Distribution, one of the artists who I became interested in researching was Allan Kaprow. Known for his revolutionizing contributions to art in the 1960s, Kaprow is especially remembered for his “happenings”. His works go beyond the traditional canvas work and focus greatly on…

Robert Irwin, an installation artist who started in the 1960s, is most closely tied to the light and space movement. His work deals directly with light and space. As he himself puts it: “It’s about everything existing in a context.” He believes that art plays a role in which it changes our perception. The goal…

In the beginning of the video, Irwin lost me a bit while talking about color and light. He talked about white and black as primary and secondary colors in light. Black and White are better understood as achromatic values, as they lack hue. The most interesting part of this artwork to me was how Irwin…

Irwin has a very unique aspect of how he looks at an object. I think that by doing this he broadens the limits of what an object should do corresponding to the space in which it is in. In one of the exhibitions space he has what is called”Light and Space II” This installation is…

Colors are made with the trickery of your eyes. Finding the right alignment within the light spectrum shows you your yellows and blues. This artist Robert Irwin, seems to be a man who is intrigued with the concept of complementary colors affecting an environment with light. His impression in the art world started with the…

What I thought to be the most interesting part of the documentary on Robert Irwin was the idea of unknown result (the way I called it). In the film, Irwin states that he has no clear idea about the way his installation will look like when it’s finished which as he puts it “involves a…

Stelarc’s art is very, very peculiar. He uses the human body as his main focus and finds ways to manipulate it or combine it with technology to make it work differently. I feel that most of his work is in a way disrespectful to the human body, for example the ear on arm. There is…

Robert Irwin own themes and works doesn’t feel too knew to me but interesting. He’s able to show the primary colors in color theory and focus it as an installation instead. Installations like Primaries and Secondaries exhibition was pretty complex and simple just by showing the color strips on the floor and hang the same…
