“ON YOUR MARKS, TENSION LINES (2020)” by Lee Campbell
Tell us about the artwork. What makes it unique?
“Imagine you fell into Picasso’s mind, this is what you would see … the inside of a Surrealist brain ….This short silent lm employs digital green screen to create fleshy layers seeping underneath and being revealed, and other sets of imagery coming through. The lines that you can see were made in the physical world using marker pens and paper. The resulting line drawings were then documented and filmed where the camera moved across the drawn paper. Now existing digitally, the drawings were then layered over one another and green screen processes were applied to create arresting tensions between the lines.”
Tell us about yourself. How did you come to be an artist in video/digital media?
“I trained in painting and completed my MFA Painting at Slade School of Fine Art, University College London in 2007. My current practice questions what may it mean to remediate, excavate and bring back to life a personal archive of paintings and drawings over the span of 25 years through the medium of digital art/ artist moving image.”
“Ninjack” by Sanela Milosevic
Tell us about the artwork. What makes it unique?
“Short, fun , mostly for younger audience. Absurd, made of puppet and 2D animation. It is always something, never abstract or nothing. As fast as he is, Ninjack can be anyone and no one , everywhere and nowhere.”
How did you come to be an artist in video/digital media?
“Since I come from puppetry world, theater was my first love, so as television. I decided to make my own studio and get an equipment for shooting series dedicated to children. Learning new skills made me aware of digital era and new ways of exploring puppetry. Corona era made the transition more faster and inevitable.”
