In this meeting of the Townsend Center New Media Working Group, Visual Artist Henry Witecki will present his recent body of composite images, animations, and projection works. An expanded photographic practice, Witecki is working with the iPhone, and processing the images in Adobe Photoshop to generate works of New Media that blur certitude. The conditions for the production of this art work are: the proliferation of the digital photograph, how that proliferation relates to the construction of memory and imaginary, and the networks with which these images can be exchanged, processed and otherwise intra-acted with. Topics touched on in the talk will include the photographers' relationship to image, recognition technology and digital image archives, information flows and thought capital, and the theories of Agential Realism and Situated Knowledge as they relate to artistic production.
