Raucous Spikie

VIDEO HAS SOUND HOVER CURSOR OVER VIDEO TO UNMUTE FULL DISCLOSURE: I am anhedonic; all this orgiastic, spectrum-shattering irradiation of the senses is the sole prerogative of my doppelgänger. Crystal flutes aloft, the party toasts the wet and meaty blue dolphins sailing in the high air alongside the yacht. Golden drops of urine leak secretly into silk satin, and the shrieking perfumed dancers spin in the winds. Hurtling down the beach tunnels, my better nature registers the sanity of grids, hustled together like johns in a Kansas brothel. Alpine mountains erupt into tantrums of feathers, the coconut palms bend elastically with laughter, and fling many miniature jesters from their high branches.  My blood is offloading the party drugs, and in my own distance their molecules resolve into the last and softest tornado that we two can throb to as one.

Renata Janiszewska

For artists, new media can create two things. The first is a novel set of tools to represent established visual ideas; the shiny new oil paints of the Renaissance led to shiny new renditions of the Baptism of the Virgin. The second is the realization that new materials create new art forms, which both annihilate and embrace the old ones. Picasso fractured the constructed object-in-space of the Renaissance, thanks to the museums. Now, not lapis lazuli in linseed oil, but light, not found objects, but found digital configurations. The unfolding of art through time is both metaphorical and simply concrete. A work of digital art starts at 0:01 and finishes at 1:22 and we can prove it. Can the matter of art be created and destroyed? My work is an ongoing meditation on the shape of this question. My vocabulary of metamorphizing forms, textures, colors and paradoxical spaces may suggest some soaring metaphysical intelligence, or a small moment on an ancient forest floor where the heroine is getting her nails very dirty digging into a story. I create my own soundtracks, and animate my own images. Forms, sounds and time appear as a single organism to the viewer, but appearances are deceptive. They are a result of my method - "Disegno" as they used to call it.
