'indication' abstract eats itself with monochrome visitor
EDITED later (with apologies to artWannabe and his comment below...) > To avoid confusion, this explanation:
One might call this a surreal or semi-abstract performance? The performance is me visiting my abstracts in a 'gallery'. The gallery is my recent 100 or so abstract macro images at their biggest resolution (1600x1200 pixels) run as a slide show from one of my digital cameras.The slideshow is fed onto my living room quite-large TV screen through a video/AV lead. I sit near the TV and light myself from below/side with my table lamp. At the same time I have another camera, my Olympus mp3 player camera, on a tripod, shooting me visiting this mock gallery slideshow continuously. I get it to shoot automatically about once every 4 seconds via a modification I made at the camera.
(do you think where possible, it's better to have the gallery visitor in black & white, like in this image, via Photoshop.......or better to leave him in colour?)
from 'Abstract Will Eat Itself' project.
a.k.a. 'Jam's Poor Man Gallery'.
It finally happened. You 1 or 2 guys who've been teasing me about stick this one or that one in a gallery have got your wish. I was curious (and gullible : ) enough to go with it.
Abstract image: is from my photostream and some of you have seen it before www.flickr.com/photos/28727333@N05/4252054665/in/set-7215... . Shot with Sony Mavica FD200 + hacked lens blutacked on as closeup lens. The abstract image is a macro experiment using a household fluid or 2 on clear glass. Backlit with light bounced off shiny peanut/gift packaging.
This whole image: Shot with Olympus m:robe mr500i mp3 player-1.2 Mpixel camera modified to auto/remote shoot from a tripod.
Abstract really can eat itself.
