Thomas Mohr →Live search( total items: 4 ) Thomas MohrThomas Mohr (1954, Mainz, Germany) currently lives and works in Amsterdam (The Netherlands). Since the late 1980s, Mohr has been working on a consistent oeuvre of video works and installations in which he systematically and rigorously researches the processes of image generation, and the transformation from perception to experience. His artworks can be situated at the intersection between common media and software; they refer both to conceptual and abstract tendencies in modern art and to automated, computer-generated processes. Thomas Mohr’s earlier works mainly explored abstract imagery; later on, he became fascinated by (digital) photography, basing his newer works on a personal photo archive containing more than 300,000 pictures taken since 1985. Thomas MohrThomas Mohr (1954., Majnc, Nemačka) živi i radi u Amsterdamu (Holandija). Od kraja osamdesetih godina Mohr se dosledno bavi video opusom i instalacijama u kojima strogo i sistematski istražuje procese stvaranja slika i transformaciju od percepcije do iskustva. Njegovo stvaralaštvo može da se smesti u tačku ukrštanja uobičajenih medija i softvera; ono se poziva i na konceptualne i apstraktne tendencije u modernoj umetnosti i na automatizovane, kompjuterski stvorene procese. Realm 1 Part 1 Thomas Mohr: Realm 1 Part 1 In the long-term project Conditions of Existence Thomas Mohr has built a model for (the visualisatia on of) the processing of incoming images: storing, naming, ordering, structuring, experiencing, sedimentation and erosion. It is a (re)construction of memory, built from 266,144 photographs, taken over a period of 4 years, on different levels of being handled. Realm 1 is the product of a first phase in this research. In this case, the source material is a small sample of an exemplary series of photographs (comparable to samples taken from sediment). Realm 1 (Part 1) is an investigation within the framework of the 4:3 aspect ratio (typical for ‘old’ video and photos), the next parts of the work (Realm 1 (Part 2-4)) investigate the 16:9 aspect ratio (used in high definition video). In the beginning the viewer can still distinguish photos in the graphical images, but the whole doesn’t represent a recognisable event or traceable story anymore. Realm 1 Part 1Thomas Mohr: Realm 1 Part 1 U dugoročnom projektu Conditions of Existence Thomas Mohr je izgradio model (vizuelizacije) obrade ulaznih slika: čuvanje, imenovanje, redosled, struktura, doživljaj, sedimentacija i erozija. To je (re)konstruisanje sećanja, sačinjeno od 266,144 fotografija snimljenih tokom 4 godine, na raznim nivoima manipulacije. Realm 1 (Part 1) je ispitivanje u okviru proporcije 4:3 (tipično za ‘stari’ video i fotografije), a sledeći delovi rada (Realm 1 (Part 2-4)) ispituju proporciju 16:9 (koja se koristi kod videa visoke definicije). U početku gledalac može još uvek da razlikuje fotografije u grafičkim slikama, ali celina više ne predstavlja prepoznatljivi događaj ili priču koja može da se otkrije. |
