Guadalupe Rosales

During a few attempts to collaborate with friend and artist Lee Maida, we discussed the possibility of making objects or "wearable sculptures" using textiles and earth color schemes. The collaboration never happened but my interest in using these colors such as mustard, gold, greys, blues and greens continued so I began to make drawings. In these drawings, I was also interested in overlaying patterns and how lines took form.

lisa oppenheim

,

lisa oppenheim's 100 photographs that changed the world. as she explains "source images were found in a time/life book, 100 photographs that changed the world. i am plugging the time, place and date of each photograph into a computer program that makes a map of the stars from any place at any time. i am printing out the star maps and drawing the stars by hand onto acetate and printing them, photographically." see more here.

ane mette hol

ane mette hol's work explores ideas of reproduction in interesting ways. these are drawn copies of photocopies or printouts from the internet. see more here.

cynthia greig

work by cynthia greig. as she explains about the work: "my series, 'representations,' combines color photography and drawing to create what i like to call photographic documents of three-dimensional drawings. gathering ordinary household objects, i first whitewash them with house paint, and then draw directly onto their surfaces with charcoal or graphite. the resulting images present visual hybrids that appear to vacillate between drawing and photography, black-and-white and color, signifier and signified, and question the concept of photographic truth and its correspondence to perceived reality. no digital manipulation is involved, but the camera’s angle of view is imperative in order to create the illusion." see more here.

magda stanova

magda stanova's 'in the shadow of photography' is a visual essay about the medium. as she explains it "consists of three main issues: searching for the specifics of phototography; investigating the relationship between art and photography; and examining how the behavior and thinking of people has changed since the invention of photography. it consists of 28 pieces: drawings, collages, photographs, texts, animation and objects." see more here. and magda's site is here.

gps drawing

gps drawing is a kind of digital mark-making created using satellite navigation technologies. gps receivers record your digital trail thus "treating travel like a geodetic pencil or cartographic crayon." see more here.

marisa olson

i've long thought this project by marisa olson was brilliant. "after performing google image searches for headphones, telephones, radios, and similar objects, the images are traced directly off the computer monitor, onto office paper, using a mechanical pencil. the search results indexed highlight the objects we choose to recall, our means of organizing them, and the visual rhetoric of these products' presentation. meanwhile, the computer monitor replaces the camera obscura, overhead projector, and other mechanical devices previously used to assist in drawing." see more of marisa's work here.

tehnica schweiz

tehnica schweiz is the hungarian duo gergely lászló + péter rákosi. they have been collaborating since 2004, and for this project they collected drawings of suspects from a hungarian police magazine and then found people to photograph who fit the descriptions. as they explain: "the drawings are done by trained experts (police artists) by hand or with the help of a specialized software. these pictures are usually based on testimonies of several eye-witnesses. they don't intend to depict the split-image of the offender, but to emphasize special characteristics on the delinquent's body or/and face. ...for each drawing we were looking for a model who would carry characteristics similar to the drawn person. these people we took portraits of with a large format camera." take a look at more of tehnica schweiz's stuff right here.

rosemarie fiore

another nice project by rosemarie fiore, long exposure photographs of atari, centuri, and taito video war games from the 1980s. as rosemarie explains: "the photographs were shot from video game screens while i played the games. by recording each second of an entire game on one frame of film, i captured complex patterns not normally seen by the eye." see an earlier post about rosemarie's great firework drawings here and even more of her work here. oh and thanks to asha for this link.
