The idea behind this work is a combining of the medium of video together with the medium of painting. It is part of an ongoing project of exploring the combining of the immaterial with the material. Introducing the paintings to a simple mapping algorithm enabled the generating of a video - the final work being an installation in which the generative video and the painting were presented simultaneously. As the original paintings are on a transparent substrate a visual intertwining occurred.
The surfaces allow the artist to take full advantage of the light and to play with the observation point of the spectator. What the viewer sees is never the actual place where the hand of the painter was - it could be that it is on the reverse or on a projection of that reverse. Through paintings, installations and exploiting the possibilities of the digital, the artist reflects on the relationship between technology and painting, the virtual and real, and between the natural and the artificial.
