Compressionism is a "digital performance and analog archive.” I traverse bodies, spaces and objects with my scanner face, while its head is in motion. After being Compressed into digital images the size of a small sheet of paper, the files are then stretched, cropped and colored by hand, then printed as editioned, archival works. The latest pieces in the series further transform details of these prints into hand-made art objects: etchings, engravings, aquatints, planographs, carborundum, monotype and more.
Compressionism is an exploration of media and perception, a transfiguration in time and seeing.
And, opening on the morning of the same day @ the David Krut Print Workshop (also in Joburg), a group show of Recent Work.
