"Pano-Vision" as an approach or an aesthetic is a fluid, malleable and open-ended medium. By it's very nature, set orthodoxies or established methods are called into question and "sabotaged". Ultimate viewpoints are seen as arbitrary and forcefully imputed on to the more complex and often indeterminate nature of reality.
In the PANO-Vision Group artists are invited and encouraged to push the medium as far as they can, incorporating fresh, new and unexpected elements while ensuring that the markers of the medium are still visible.
"Pano-Sabotage" is unique in photographic art in that the distorted or fragmented nature of the image is achieved WITH THE CAMERA, not through post capture manipulation ( e.g. Photoshop etc ). Attempts to mimic the medium in software like Photoshop are always a dead give-away. The "markers" are missing. So Pano-Sabotage is a unique and tell-tale medium.
It's great, 4 years on, to be finding ways to take Pano-Sabotage into new and unexpected places. It's fluid and experimental nature allow for that easily.
Image created 2017.
The title comes from a line of lyric from a song by Brian Eno and Phil Manzanera called "Miss Shapiro", perhaps the very best of Eno's explorations of glossolalia and similar word play. Early in his career he explored this to extraordinary effect resulting in such classics as "Miss Shapiro", "Backwater", "Kurt's Rejoinder" ( with a snippet of a recording of Dadaist Kurt Schwitters sputtering improvised syllables - an early inspiration for Eno ) and the brilliantly backward "Tzima N'arki" done with Cluster in Germany.
Music Link: "Miss Shapiro" - Brian Eno & Phil Manzanera from Manzanera's album "Diamond Head".
