OUR NEW BOOK LAUNCH !

alteditions - Nicolas Lamas - 01

Four years after Pediluve, we have the pleasure to publish our new book during Art Brussels: Nicolás LamasBlind Gestures project.

Blind gestures, the newest photographic project of Belgium based peruvian artist Nicolás Lamas, gathers 25 images scanned from dormant IPad screens. Each scan registers the marks, scratches, fingerprints and dust indefinitely accumulated on the screen surface.

In the process of gathering these images, Lamas establishes an unusual relationship between two electronic devices, using the scanner as photographic tool to « expose » the information that constantly changes and focuses on the « action space » of the tablets. The forms that are revealed may seem to be spontaneous, tactile gestures without any criteria; but they are indeed the registered actions of clear logic made to activate various functions of the IPad, when it is turned on.

Each image is unique, unrepeatable and corresponds to a specific moment in the interaction with digital information. Beside each image is the name of the IPad owner, putting emphasis on the close relationship between the tablet and each user, and the traces left by contact with a personal electronic device that translates builds and interconnects a world that is on both sides of the screen.

CONFIGURACIONES

Filed under: Art contemporain | Tags: , |

Nicolas Lamas - Configuraciones

El trabajo de Nicolás Lamas parte del interés y la desconfianza hacia las percepciones construidas de aquello que pertenece a un “orden natural” y modela nuestras certezas a través del conocimiento. Sus cuestionamientos se centran en los modelos asociados a la investigación científica y la constante búsqueda por ordenar, medir y controlar las leyes que gobiernan el mundo perceptible.

RIVAGES

altblog — Lara Gasparotto — Rivages

I basically do what I’ve always done: I photograph what’s around me, my surroundings, my life, my travels. It’s a celebration of life, freedom, and liberty, in a way. But in a little while I’ll start something totally new because I want to take my photography a step further. I’m flying to New Orleans, L.A., Panama and wherever my travels will take me. I’ve mostly been photographing in Europe and I need some new inspirations and want to create some new structures in my images. It will be good to see something new for four months. Lara Gasparotto, 24.08.2012, interview by Sarah Schug in The Word Magazine.  During the exhibition her new book will be introduced, that holds the same title Rivages.

Stieglitz 19, Antwerp. 23.03.2014 > 03.05.2014.


3 PROJECTS BY ASGER CARLSEN

Asger Carlsen — Finlow

Asger Carlsen pourrait se dire sculpteur et exploite la photo comme une matière première, élastique, malléable, généreuse, qui lui pardonne tout. L’image n’est plus qu’une surface pareille à une peau qu’il manipule. Aucune trace de son passage et pourtant le résultat suinte de sa signature.
