Bart.Hess_Lady.Gaga2.Madonna_Vogue.Max/Jitter
this is a new piece that is hanging at the Woodstock
Framing Gallery in Woodstock, NY; in a show curated by Norm Magnusson
on the subject of copyright law and fair use.



As far as the piece, I'll explain it just a bit because my

process can be understood as the flip-side of the curated

subject matter witch is "Fair Use".

I used a photograph of!!Iconic Pop star Lady Gaga!taken by

the great Artist Bart Hess . Then I wrote a software patch

that takes algorithms from Madonnas song Vogue (used for

free via Pandora.com) and then used the amplitude as an

information input to create digital distortions along to the

music in real time.

I then recorded those distortion animations and saved them

as .mov files , turning the still image into a movie. I went

through the still frames of the movie and selected one. I

then made plastic layers of digital prints and paintings with

dye based pigments and alcohol. framed it and backlit it.

The piece is titled:

"Bart.Hess_Lady.Gaga2.Madonna_Vogue.Max/Jitter"
