The Collection and designer I have decided to research is Noa Raviv Autumn 2017 Collection was inspired by computer glitches and digital errors. She was also inspired from areas and places that have no identity or history such as air ports and shopping malls.  Also places that do not physically exist such as websites and the internet.

The image I have chosen from the inspiration of Noa Raviv’s designs was created by Kim Asendorf, who is a conceptual, visual artists who takes data, codes and computer signals and edits them, to create his work. I could not find the exact sources of which artist inspired Raviv’s designs however, I know that she took inspiration from artists that work in this way.  (German: Kim Asendorf)

The piece created by Asendorf is a portrait which has been digitally edited. It splits the image apart causing it to become out of focus, but still allows facial features to be identified. With the use of pixel sorting it has brought forward some hidden colours that make up the piece.

When comparing Asendorf’s work to other work that he also created in 2011, we can see that he was inspired by both movement and structures, as he created this dynamic digital piece that is made up of multiple layers and changed direction of movement. The structure is transparent so has the sense of not being a physical structure, or place, similar to a webpage and the internet, this is similar idea to the inspiration that Raviv used within her collection.

Another artist that works in a similar way to Kim Asendorf is Sergio Albiac who is an artist that combines traditional media and coding, whose work is inspired by places that we create in our own minds. (Albiac ,S)  I found the connection between these two artists because they had similar formats and layouts, both being portraits and using coding and manipulation of the photograph pulling it apart.

Although, the pieces are similar they have big difference too, such as, in Albiac’s “You Are Not the News” is based upon a newspaper which is a physical object that we can hold and touch.  Where as Asendorf was inspired by the places that are not physically there such as a webpages or the internet. The pictures also seem obviously different as Asendorf emphasised the pictures being pulledapart, by pulling out the colours within the piece.  Where as Albiac can do this with black and white and the viewer is able to feel this movement more because the piece is based upon a tangible item, we can touch and feel.

 

You are not the news

Overall, the digital influence has lead to the creation of work that has movement and transparency, and adds depth due to the different layers created by the digital affect.
