Eternal Sunset is a digital collage that calibrates a series of frames, collapsing in to the image, to a color calibration target created by sampling the colors of the Hubble Deep Field Image, in First Light. The result is an image, already embedded with the romanticism of mankind (it's existence - an emblematic example of our projections), can be seen through these translucent squares as the colors of the first light of the universe, are muddled in to meaningless gray. <img src="http://payload17.cargocollective.com/1/4/147443/2642533/sunsetonmars.jpg" width="670" height="670" width_o="800" height_o="800" src_o="http://payload17.cargocollective.com/1/4/147443/2642533/sunsetonmars_o.jpg" data-mid="13376580" border="0" align="left"/> http://itwillbeok.com/Space-Time-Architecture-Revised http://itwillbeok.com/following/itwillbeok.com/Space-Time-Architecture-Revised Fri, 20 Jan 2012 08:48:13 +0000 IT WILL BE OK 2642470 Space, Time and Architecture needed to be revised. Sigmund Gideon introduces the fourth edition of his seminal text on architecture with this call to action. My revision of his book is a process consisting of three significant steps. Firstly, over 20 percent of the text has been crossed out with a black felt marker leaving only the contours of letters, forming a more condensed history of space. Secondly, close to 70 percent of the book has been covered with white ink, creating a thin sheer. The blurry suggestion of knowledge occupies each page, but the hard fact of its printing obscured to a vague impression. Thirdly, the images are left to stand alone, allowing them to be read separately from the intended context of their caption. In this new form, a visual metaphor is achieved. Through its editing, a ratio of dark matter, visible matter, and dark energy is represented in literal terms. The book is reinvented as an object that represents the knowledge it fails to hold on to and the history of science, art and architecture are revealed as dynamic and interweaved. Thus, the historical narrative of mankind's effort to define space is revealed in his failure. 6 prints emblematic of this process: The Laws of Nature, transparent film inkjet print, 24 by 18.

All that remains are impressions of light. This body of work questions the finality of images, by looking at these images apart from the layers of data, disguised by way of their composited beauty . It investigates the mediation of this type of imaging and the way in which it is presented. Every image is replaced by its own romanticism, becoming indistinguishable from truth or any definitive history. Only in a process concerned with the mechanics of its' production can we understand the photography and for that matter, printmaking. The smaller prints are fitted in to limited edition sleeves with a series of text taken from scientific journals printed on the cover. They were featured at Conveyor Arts as part of the Based on a True Story exhibition. The framed prints were a central piece of a solo exhibition at Wire + Nail Gallery and the group show Vast and Undetectable at the San Francisco Arts Commission gallery.

The concentration of these stars towards the center of the cluster, suggests a contraction known as a core collapse. This collapse hints at a black hole in the center of the star field. That would mean the definitive end of this particular combination of stars, and quite possibly, the stars themselves. This book was printed on a dot matrix printer by way of a software program that automatically printed, the most concentrated areas of cluster m15 and printed them on a block of continuous paper, thus isolating the stars responsible for the core collapse of this grouping while keeping them inevitably connected.

Every night for a week, a sheet of paper is slid in between pillow and pillow case, keeping a record of this dormant motion. The resulting paper is then scanned and made in to a polymer plate and a parallel process of printing is used, to emulate the weight of ones head, by way of a letter press. In this way, the original idea carries over to the printing process and the book demonstrates a symmetrical relationship in which process and concept are equal. Continuing this series on a larger scale and removing all intermediate steps, prints were made using only the artist's body and paper. The final object is a record of its own production, leaving the viewer space for their own romantic associations. Book featured in Death of Print show at End of Century NYC and available at Colpa Press.

Our vision of the universe is a systematic categorization of existence. As inhabitants of our planet, we are all involuntary participants in the organization of the known universe and the exploration of the unknown. One could say that an entire pattern of thinking comes from studying the delicate position of the human being in the universe. Somewhere between fear and romanticism, all rational thought is held and subjected. And the truth, whatever it may be, is conditioned by our relative position and our “rational” thought, which is constantly and consistently subject to romanticism. These cards are intended as valentines to the universe, pointing out a personalized romantic relationship we all have with the cosmos. All of text is taken from scientific reports.
