Subject: [cinematik] arte on-line en Africa

http://go.to/switchonoff

The 2001 Sasol exhibition curated by Marcus Neustetter at the Klein Karoo
Nasionale Kunstefees in Oudtshoorn, South Africa, presented a range of South
African artists, each of which showing two works related in subject matter,
however in different media; one work in digital format and the other one of
the more traditional media. In this way the exhibition creates relationships
between artists' works on the screen and off the screen - switch on/off. The
translation of the production of the sculptural, photographic or pictorial
works into either computer specific, digitally manipulated or even
interactive pieces has become interesting in the relationship of art and
technology. Artists such as Norman Catherine and Stephen Hobbs have been
exploring shifts of their concepts to incorporate digital interactivity of
CD Rom artworks. Abrie Fourie translates his lightbox works into
screensavers and Tracy Gander/FUR her landscapes into digital horizons.
Other artists exhibiting transformations from the sculptural, performance
and two-dimensional works into the virtual environment created by technology
are Brad Hammond, Mark Edwards, Robin Rhode, Kim Lieberman and Stefanus
Rademeyer. The digital works were presented on state of the art equipment
sponsored by LG Electronics. Computers and projectors are also supplied by
the Technikon Pretoria and with the assistance of MuseuMAfrica, City of
Johannesburg. A special thank you to the sponsors, KKNK, artists,
collaborators, assistants, Clive van den Berg and Kathryn Smith.



      Currently ON/OFF II is being proposed for Johannesburg, South Africa.
