| Statement | |
| I am researching the possibilities of a two-dimensional painting in this three dimensional world. It has been seven years since I defined painting as the creation of a three-dimensional space on a two-dimensional flat surface. (It has been seven years since I started painting in earnest after nearly dying on a motorcycle.) In order to extend the possibilities of the plane, I have recently been trying to reproduce the inside of a monitor, a virtual space in analog form. (Recently, I draw pictures after making a rough sketch on the computer.) The world that appears in the monitor is virtual but real, and the flat world in the painting is an augmented reality and while relying on the computer to perform complex calculations that combine these contradictory realities. There is some kind of bug in the painting where the output is done by human labor. (When you try to convert digital into analog, some kind of bug is created.) By allowing the space to contain such contradictions, we can feel another kind of life. (What is the point in going through all that trouble? It is like painting itself.) |
