Hope. Even the smallest spark can light up a dark space.
"Pick an abstract concept, and try to shoot it, conveying that idea"
Jason Miller creates his conceptually driven images in-studio, Memphis, TN. Miller is interested in making imagery that deals with human subjects interrelating and communicating through archaic 20th century artifacts. He works both in single imagery as well as grand format digital montage. Historical topics including Memento mori, Vanitas, and a self-reflection on modern human inventions of communication paired with mirrors and symbolism are placed in communion with the use of chiaroscuro, thoroughly considered custom museum dioramas, and highly detailed photographic based renderings. .

No images, mediated or otherwise, are used that do not first pass directly through Millerâs camera. The goal of the photographically created images is to transcend being merely esthetically pleasing in order to arrive at a materialization of the underlying thought process. "My work is designed, from conception to final presentation, to lay bare the struggle and chess play behind my process.".

UBERMORGEN.COM [A/CH/USA, *1999]
UBERMORGEN.COM is an artist duo created in Vienna, Austria, by Lizvlx
and Hans Bernhard, a founder of etoy. Behind UBERMORGEN.COM we can
find one of the most unmatchable identities – controversial and
iconoclast – of the contemporary European techno-fine-art avant-
garde. Their open circuit of conceptual art, drawing, software art,
pixel- painting, computer installations, net.art, sculpture and
digital activism (media hacking) transforms their brand into a hybrid
Gesamtkunstwerk. UBERMORGEN.COM’s work is unique not because of what
they do but because how, when, where and why they do it. The computer
and the network are (ab)used to create art and combine its multiple
forms. The permanent amalgamation of fact and fiction points toward
an extremely expanded concept of one’s working materials, that for
UBERMORGEN.COM also include (international) rights, democracy and
global communication (input-feedback loops). “Ubermorgen” is the
German word both for “the day after tomorrow” or “super-tomorrow”.
