Artist Statement:
Why is it, or how is it that
after the most incredible
artistic revolution which
occurred at the beginning of
the last century, Art has
become the most static of all
the arts. Considering, that
experimentation into the use
of computers and technology in
artistic expression started
proper in the 50’s, why then
is art not catering for
increased social awareness and
using the tools that are
currently and for some time
have been at their disposal.
What would the Futurists,
Cubists, Constructivists etc.
have made of this advanced
technology, if you consider
for example what the Futurists
did with cinema in 1916, and
the cubists with painting and
sculpture. Lets not, belittle
all the very unique and ground
breaking work that was created
in the 50 years that followed,
Fluxus, OP Art, pop art,
kinetic art, happenings etc.
It seems after Nam juin Pak,
everything went horizontal,
even his work...What is next?
What has happened to the
modern day artist?
Commerciality perhaps! Lack of
inspiration? Skill? Time?...
