--- --- --- *THE 'ONE IDEA, ONE RESULT' METHOD *In conversation with the Amsterdam-based artist Jan Robert Leegte http://cont3xt.net/blog/?p=3533
--- --- --- The experience-based way of testing physical reality defines the choice of material in Jan Robert Leegte's installations and Internet-based work. Amongst others, he developes so called single-serving-sites, which are defined as web sites comprised of a single page with a dedicated domain name and do only one thing. In "Blue Monochrome .com" (2008), for example, Leegte makes use of the tools of Google-Earth to transform satellite images of the globe's water surface into ready-mades. Geographic coordinates are linked to the coordinates of a website, the real space is linked to the virtual; the title of the artwork represents on a linguistic level, what can be seen on the screen image: a granulated blue surface with minimal elevations, which can immediately be associated with thick acrylic on canvas and finally with its predecessors in art history. In the interview with CONT3XT.NET the artist explains how the Internet can be seen as a space and why he is still fascinated by the "new medium". --- --- --- *Recent exhibition:* WHITE, YELLOW, BLUE, AND BLACK, ONE COINCIDENCE, AND ONE OBJECT.
