Hi Andrew
Thanks for your response.
Conceptually my work is about the transience of our existence and the way
that our presence leaves traces or echoes after we have past.
Much of my work is in Encastic, which is a medium used 3000 years ago so its
rather neat that I should choose to use contemporary technology for this
exhibition.
A usefull metaphor for my work is a Palimpsest and I intend to project a
Human Palimpsest in a darkened room onto a wall.
The idea is to capture images of the visitors at the show, manipulate them
using the software and project them as layered images perhaps some seconds
after the pass by the camera and enter the room. I may also need to possibly
distort the images, but this is rather trial and error.
If you are unsure of the terms Palimpsest and Encaustic it maybe easier for
you to look them up rather than me explain in this mail.
You will appreciate that the use of digital and video in art is relatively
new and rapidly changing as artists bcome aware of the changing technology
and what it can do as a medium
If you are interested in my work you will find me at http://www.tonyowers.com
