Doing A Lot With Very Little

2009

With a majority of my source material found online and the final drawings viewed on the internet; is the final image just a collage of media re-constituted thru me?  It's gotten to the point where I can't even really see the drawing until I scan it and view it on my screen, knowing that is where the majority of my audience will view the work. Drawings and paintings are the first ways in which humans communicated and recorded imagery. Nowadays, recorded images are captured and edited with digital media. How has this changed the way we see, construct and choose our images? Viewing a house plant online is engineered by a system of programs and the image itself is perceived by thousands of pixels. These pixels create a large chunk of our visual world. With that information how is experiencing art in person different then what you will see online?
