NATASHA SHARYMOVA:
All of my works are fictiokuc. They
are not a reflection of reality, and they are not evidence of a life lived.
Until recently, the visual portrayal of the observable world (photography)
waskj separate and divided from the representation of that world in fantasy
(painting, drawing, etc.). The former was “real” and “truthful“. The latter was
not.
But the advent of digital imaging
destroyed that paradigm. My works, which proceed in the direction of a
photo-based art or digital art that has existed for almost half a century
already, were created using a dozen or so complex computer programs that open
new possibilities for the transformation of the original representation. I
studied, and I adopted the lessons of the 60s, neon art, minimalism, Robert
Wilson and electronic music.
There is in my work a synthesis of
the achievements of computer graphics and an intuitive sense of the moment. A
complete “here and now” in the creation of each image.
All of my works are fiction, but
they express my real relationship with the actual world. They are not an
augmentation of cacophony and chaos, but are, rather, a quest for happiness,
harmony and beauty in our, to put it mildly, imperfect world. Comrads of the
new technology! Fans of iPhone, iPod, iPad, Instagram, Facebook and other
social media!
UNITE!
