Artist Statement for Robert Metzger

SYNOPSIS
Technological advances in the production of the
photographic image and its manipulation
reinforce our expectations of an existence where
our needs are embodied in mediated reality.
To illustrate the power of this visual language
of photography and its role in shaping and
staging contemporary symbolism, I create a
rarified world of electronic waste and visual static.
The intent is to share visual information that is
not bound by the constraints of conventional
expectations of most mediated realities.
The video camera, a descendent from a multitude
of generational shifts in the technology of the
camera, has been turned toward the screen of a
color video monitor, capturing the feedback,
similar to the repel of two magnets at odds with
each other's polarity.
These raw images are digitized - their color
enhanced and still images selected. Results
are depictions of chaos, fabricated patterns,
implied textures, depth and other interpretations
that are most often left up to the discernment of
the audience, but simultaneously seem intent on
establishing associations with more representational
imagery.
Photography-based reality, as an abstraction
that, in and of itself, suggests there exists an
intimacy and otherness to matter.
