Since the mid-1990s Joan Heemskerk and Dirk Paesmans started to create
original artworks for the World Wide Web. A few years later, they also
turned to software art and artistic computer game modification. Since
2002, they have been in what has been called their "Screen Grab" period,
making video works by recording the computer monitor's output while
working, playing video games, or coding.
At the Drop Shadow Talks JODI will present their latest works
thumbing.org and folksomy.vj
The digital drop shadow is the most popular effect in computer graphics
today. Easily applied, it made its way to modern graphic design and
advertising. It raises typography and objects from a flattened
background into three-dimensionality--and thus significance.
With the current generation of operating systems the drop shadow effect
entered the graphical user interface to a new extent. In this context it
raises not only windows from background wallpapers; it also stands for a
visually enriched interface that strives towards three-dimensionality.
Loaded with rich imagery, photorealistic icons and pseudo
three-dimensional configurations the graphical user interface yet
remains tied to its flat medium. Bewildered by this paradox, the
graphical user interface leaves the office it was made for and becomes a
pop culture phenomenon.
The Drop Shadow Talks reply to current developments on the visually
enriched layer for machine interaction. In the shades of evening
lectures the Drop Shadow Talks regularly present art and projects
influenced and inspired by the baroque graphical user interface.
The performance will take place in Raum 2.07.
