LookingOutwards-08

James George, is a artist that utilizes vision and tracking technologies to redefine what a photograph looks like. By applying the formats associated with feature films, interactive installations, and software products to advance the art of the moving image. He is a computer scientist and uses his skills to enhance the artwork. By exploring tools like microsoft’s kinect to figure out how to create virtual spaces.

I really admire that his work consist of collaborating with other researchers and artist, and taking photos and inserting them into digital spaces. I think projects like Clouds and Exquisite City are really fascinating because they make three dimensional spaces that one can venture through virtually. Clouds is my favorite because it collaborates with various artist and allows people to see the world through the lens of the artist. I think this has a very unique perspective to how to approach artwork, since we can see what the outcomes of the artist’s efforts can be.

Because his artwork is so collaborative, his presentation style is very unique as it brings in many other artist’s perspectives. He describes his work as a small portion of a new space within art forms. I think he effectively describes the medium of his work, since they are very technical. He describes the capabilities and limitations of said medium as well. When sharing my work, I think talking about my influencers, limitations and advantages are all good practices.
