Art I like - Tim Head

My sudden interest in dust has led (back) to the work of Tim Head (this is "Dust Flowers") - an accretion of computer "noise", which - by using the physical element of the medium to form the work - he has generated.

The site where I ran across the image says: "For Tim Head, the elusive and contrary nature of the digital medium and its unsettled relationship with both ourselves and with the physical world forms the basis for recent work. Computer programs are written to generate unique events in ‘real time’ on screens, projections and inkjet prints that focus on the intrinsic properties of these digital media. The programs operate at the primary scale of the medium’s smallest visual element (the pixel or inkjet dot) by treating each element as a separate individual entity. The medium is no longer transparent but opaque."

But Head doesn't work only in "high'tech"; he has done various drawings of horizontal lines - it was seeing these in a gallery that got me interested in his work. This is "Slow Life", from his website (where you can see a detail) - it measures 59x84cm -
