Visual Art Analysis
Visual arts have been used to record, expand, reflect and communicate ideas to enhance people’s surrounding. Historical events are illustrated by the use of visual arts such as plagues, battles and celebrations are depicted in painting and drawing. Although the better the illustration might appear to be, it is hard to bring out the perspective viewer without engagement of the critical thinking.
Colin Ives in his digital arts has engaged an interactive aspect in digital arts where here he has used presentations and explanations to make easier for a layman to understand the art work in digital world. Although on my side I do understand and entertain to go through digital arts, great number of population pay less attentions to search items for what is regarded as technical aspect of artwork. Colin has used performance to simplify what appears to be ambiguity in the world of art making it more interesting article creating more attentions.
The most significant sculpture in Colin’s work as far as am concerned was one which presented a Nocturne media installation focusing on animals like mice and opossums that finds successful niches within urban and suburban landscape. It’s a contrast to see a fully occupied city with human nature small, minute animals finds its way in its landscapes and managing to survive to its best (Jeremijenko).
Collin uses video, live traps and surveillance equipments to capture the footage of these animals. LCD screens or projections are used in the gallery to play captured videos by displaying the actual size of the creatures. The used videos respond to the actions and presences of the viewer logging into the gallery bringing a mediated swap between the co-inhabitants of urban areas.
Collin’s major intention in the project is not only to acknowledge personal lives of the animals presented but also to bring out the idea that they have a significant presence in our contemporary urban spaces...
