Getting Primitive



The more subtle the changes
the more insidious the effect.

self portrait with car

Distorting jpegs has little to do with traditional photography. I used to go out hunting with my slr. Hunting for things worthy of my camera. Now I can instantly create numerous cheap images that are just pixels waiting to be pushed around like so much paint.

Back In The Day

Retro visitation of "RattleTrap", "TripHammer","KeyBorg1",and,"Battle Horn of the Republic/Moose Call". 1981-84 My Emily Carr Student Daze.

What? A day?


This is so recursively self referential!
A self portrait photochopped (yes, chopped)to include a poster for a sculpture of mine,
uploaded to
http://ca.geocities.com/tmsawatzky/
,
then sceengrabbed and reuploaded to
my blog.
And now I'm writing about it.
Hey, when I get some time for my brain,
I will add a flash adventure game to my site.
I'm tempted to make it a real old school text only
thing with linx.
I like the old/new blend.
Hotrod ..?

Flash Test

This is a test of publishing Flash as a Gif.
My formating is not what I expected. This is a voyage of discovery. Does this work? http://ca.geocities.com/tmsawatzky/

I don't know what to write today. Entry #3, the visuals are easy, I guess that's why I build sculpture ... 3d communication just makes sense to me. Words are more difficult.

Deconstruction:Classic


A motor inside a VW turns wafer switches which have been soldered into the circuitboard where the computer keyboard once resided.
It aids in the process of getting the basic program booted via a librarian plugging in the lights of the cabinet in which the sideways Mac Classic was for a month.
The images on the vertical screen were mixed with basic graphics. System 7 ... 1990's. And equally aged Chipmunk Basic Program.
I had to buy a USB floppy drive to load stuff from my MacBook Pro.


Crazy Start


How is sound sculpting different from making music?
I move sounds as well as creating sound patterns.
Coming from an Art perspective ... filtred through Multimedia.
Writing is the hard part, this is the beginning.
