Day 61 of 365
This is a shot I've been wanting to create for some time, but like most things a lot depends on being in the right place at the right time
The young woman creating this water colour was quite engrossed in what she was doing, but I introduced myself and asked if she's mind if I shot her whilst she worked ... not a problem ;-)
As soon as I started shooting, I knew it was going to be a B&W image :-)

Because of her fevers, Talia wasn't about to go downstairs when the candy artist was making candy for the kids in the hospital so she came to visit Talia in her room. This lady works at Epcot making candy and has volunteered her time to make handmade candy for the kids who are sick at the hospital. It was amazing to watch her shape this candy by hand into a zebra for Talia. This lady is the only known woman candy artist who creates candy in this way.

Full screening notes:
Gina Czarnecki, Infected (2001) 8 mins.
Infected is a film about the nature of the physical body in the context of future technological possibilities, seen through dance and digitally manipulated imagery. The new bio-engineered body is still an sexual, organic, stark, brutal, pounding system. It is beautiful, repulsive, indulgent, curious, emotional, un/controlled, breeding, changing… Is this a futuristic vision of the human body infiltrated and changed, ‘infected’ by biotechnology? Or is the reverse happening? Is the human body, the warm-blooded body of sinews and emotions, corrupting the ‘pure light’ of technology? Infected features Scottish dance artist, Iona Kewney, and a specially commissioned score by Fennesz.
Floris Kaayk, The Order Electrus (2005) 7 mins. 35 sec.
The Order Electrus is a fictional documentary which shows Floris Kaayk’s imaginary world of industrialised nature, situated in a derelict area of the Ruhr in Germany. Due to overcapacity in production systems, many factories in Germany were forced to close down. Over the course of many years these derelict industrial areas became a breeding ground for an electrical insects species, also called the Order Electrus. These insects evolved through the merging of nature and technology.
Mike Pelletier, Still Life (2017) 4 mins. 7 sec.
“This animation combines my interest of contemporary technological forms with the more classical form of still life painting. What attracts me to still life paintings is how the paintings can study the form of their subject but also reveal much about how they are made. The quality and materiality of paint exist on equal footing with the study of light, color and form. I took inspiration from the term “still life” itself, by focusing on the idea of stillness. I also took inspiration from how the term is expressed in French as “Nature Morte,” which can be literally translated to dead nature. In this animation the stillness, unnaturalness and deadness of these virtual objects becomes the focus of the piece.”
Liat Berdugo and Emily Martinez, Making You (2016) 7 mins. 32 sec.
“Anxious to Make is the collaborative practice of Liat Berdugo and Emily Martinez, two commissioning bodies. Our focus is on the so-called “sharing economy” and the contemporary artists “anxiety to make” in the accelerationist, neoliberal economic landscape. While Anxious to Make’s physical existence takes many shifting forms, it often manifests as a series of video commissions, downloads, online generators, workshops, net art interventions, and sweepstakes. Anxious to Make believes in absurdist extremes as way to examine contemporary realities. Our work has appeared recently in The Wrong Biennale, Transmediale (Berlin, DE), Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, MoMA PS1, V2_ Institute for the Unstable Media, WRO Media Art Biennale and The Luminary (St. Louis, MO).”
Keiichi Matsuda, Hyper-Reality (2016) 6 mins. 15 sec.
Our physical and virtual realities are becoming increasingly intertwined. Technologies such as VR, augmented reality, wearables, and the internet of things are pointing to a world where technology will envelop every aspect of our lives. It will be the glue between every interaction and experience, offering amazing possibilities, while also controlling the way we understand the world. Hyper-Reality attempts to explore this exciting but dangerous trajectory. It was crowdfunded, and shot on location in Medellín, Colombia, and presents a provocative and kaleidoscopic new vision of the future, where physical and virtual realities have merged, and the city is saturated in media. It is the latest work in an ongoing research-by-design project by Keiichi Matsuda.
Francois Knoetze, Core Dump (2018) 11 mins. 45 sec.
Core Dump explores the place of screens in global and localised politics and history, looking specifically at the contradiction of Silicon Valley’s techno-utopianism and its impact on the low-tech manufacturing bases of Africa. The project comprises a series of performances, projection-mapping video installations, and interviews that draw from audiovisual archives, early African cinema and the daily life of the cities of Dakar and Kinshasa. These two cities represent both the origin points of mineral extraction for materials used in the production of technology, and the end points at which certain African countries become dumping grounds for electronic waste from Europe and the USA which is then often repaired, re-purposed and reused. In contrast to the spectacle of technological singularity and the Western myth of progress, Core Dump considers the connections, disruptions and contradictions inherent in these ideas, through conflicting designations of value and waste.
Bex Ilsley, Codex (2016) 3 mins. 30 sec.
Bex Ilsley is an artist based in Coventry. Her practice explores the nature of body and personality in virtual, physical, and psychological spaces. Fantasy, performativity, objecthood and paradox are used as a lens through which to examine the authenticity of these structures. Codex was filmed in April 2016 in Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA, on The Moon, a multidisciplinary arts space. It was produced In collaboration with Los Angeles based videographer Bokeh Monster and INTERSPACE, a student arts organisation from Kendall College of Art and Design. The film is a re-interpretation of a specific illustration from Luigi Serafini’s 1981 book Codex Seraphinianus, updated as a music video for the social media age. Music: King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard – ‘Work This Time’
Jeremy Bailey, Transhuman Dance Recital (2007) 6 mins. 29 sec.
“From this point forward I dedicate myself to finding better ways for humans to dance.” – Famous New Media Artist Jeremy Bailey
Mary Maggic Tsang, Egstrogen Farms (2015) 1 min.
Egstrogen Farms is a tactical media project that addresses the domestication of women’s reproductive abilities by the biotech industry, including hormonal therapies in the assisted reproductive technology (ART) sector. Presented as a fictional company, a parodic diversion of exchanges between species, Egstrogen Farms markets genetically modified eggs that produce a “cocktail of gonadotropins” to allow women to ovulate as frequently as chickens do. Inspired by the work of collectives such as subRosa or Critical Art Ensemble, Egstrogen Farms delivers a critique on the current commercialization of reproduction and expands the symbol of the egg as a therapeutic, nutritional and reproductive matrix.
Benny Nemerofsky Ramsay, A Short History of My Art Practice (2016) 15 mins. 17 sec.
In answer to the question, what is it that you do? – perennially asked of contemporary artists – Nemerofsky summarises fifteen years of professional practice in fifteen minutes, describing and re-embodying key artworks in his sound- and video-centric work.

When asked "What is your favorite painting?" artist Jeremy Johnson responds, 'The next one I am going to paint.'
Born in 1982 in Santa Clara, California, Jeremy started drawing and painting as a child. It was obvious that art would be a passion he would possess throughout his life. Having no formal instruction, Jeremy studied art history and theory on his own, and looked to art magazines and photography for inspiration. “I started out young, creating and imitating works from other artists I liked. Painting was just something that came naturally to me. I never felt lost while holding the brush.”
Throughout school, Jeremy received much attention for his paintings. By 13, he found direction and began developing his own unique styles. In high school he solidified them. Jeremy often credits his high school art instructor for mentoring him. “Without Dave Tamori I probably wouldn’t be where I am today, artistically speaking. He believed in me and encouraged me to show my work.” Back then Jeremy was known for never doing assigned projects. He was constantly found in the back of the classroom painting profusely. “During class I was flooded with inspiration and ideas. When that bell rang for art class, I wasn’t about to put inspiration aside for an art assignment.” Jeremy never recieved anything less then an "A" in art class and later graduated with honors in art.
Even though he was passionate about his art, Jeremy decided to go through the cadet process at the Butte County Jail to become a correctional officer and eventually make his way to patrol. On the 26th of June 2002, tragedy struck and Jeremy’s life changed forever. His younger brother Justin drowned in the Feather River while they were swimming. Before his death, Justin had stressed how important it was for Jeremy to pursue his art. He told Jeremy that becoming a police officer would be a waste of his talent. When Justin’s locker at school was cleaned out, a binder of Jeremy’s art and pictures were found. Many of Justin’s friends shared stories with Jeremy about how proud Justin was of his big brother. It was at that point that Jeremy knew he would pursue his art for the rest of his life. Every piece he’s completed, as well as those to come, are dedicated to his brother Justin Johnson.
Jeremy’s paintings are influenced by a variety of outside forces; however, his desire to paint and consistently create new works of art are derived from an internal source. His work has been nationally televised, featured in magazines, and even adorns the walls of celebrity homes.
Now, at age 25, Jeremy resides in Southern California continuously creating his art. The Jeremy L. Johnson Gallery in Los Angeles is coming soon. “When I’m painting, I never know how the piece will end up. It’s never completed the way I originally planned, often times better.” His popularity is rapidly growing, with a steady fan base in all parts of the world. Soon you will be able to view his art around California,and eventually all over the country. You may even be able to catch him at a local Barnes & Nobles with a cup of coffee and an art magazine. If you see Jeremy around stop and say "Hi". Jeremy loves to hear from those who know his work.

I create pieces that acknowledge and respond to the physical presence of the person viewing them. This comes from an uncertainty about my own place in the world; the urge to have a unique identity with clearly marked personal space conflicts with a longing for real intimacy and a feeling of being part of a community.
In some pieces, there are details that will not read from across the room: you must get close to see them, much closer than you would to the face of a stranger.
Colors may cozy up together or push violently. Spaces between shapes create varying degrees of tension.
I take inspiration from everyday objects, anthropological images, microscopic life, and the surface of our planet, utilizing patterning and repetition that makes creation a meditative and obsessive act.
