THE PIXEL PROJECT - CALL FOR ARTISTS

The pixel is located beyond the image, beyond its representation, taking as pure abstraction, pure unifying concept of reality - the image - whtich is set on the screen. This is all the more credible the more pixie image has, the greater the definition.
Oposed to photo chemistry, whose definition of the image depends on the number of points and its size, higher points less number on the image, then lower definition. The process in digital image is different, because the pixel size does not change: more pixels more image definition.
Donald Kuspit compare the impressionism of Seurat to digital images; the flick is the same as pixel. In this sense, the digital image can be seen as a huge web of colors linked in some way to shape the image.
With The Pixel Project, the UAVM which to present how artist see images through pixels, images as pixels, pixels as art.

THE COLLECTION - PART THREE: SAND PIXELS

In a digital image the pixel is the smallest, and therefore essential, in the display of the image: he is the key element through which we understand the quality of the image: more pixels, more quality, more "reality." Establishing a very close relationship with this concept, the UAVM selected a series of images of a series called "Castles of Sand", establishing a parallel between the sand of the beach and the pixel of the image. The starting point was, through digital manipulation, stretch the pixel in the image. The grain of sand becomes into small squares, and the image in a kind of mosaic. Thanks to digital manipulation, images transform into deserts, in saline, guard towers in the Sahara ... "Pixels of Sand" give rise to other worlds that live inside of others, as secrets, like the water in the desert sands.

WATERMARKS VIRTUAL EXHIBITION

The watermark, more than a name, symbol or signature of the artist, is a process underlying copyright. With the mass proliferation of images over the internet (apparently in an uncontrollable unruly manner) the watermark seems to bring means to an artistic form of protection. Apparently nothing can prevent the copying of images on the net. Even protected software (such as Flash, which prevents copying) can always be bypassed with the print-screen of the page. But the found ways to curb hacking (with blurred images and watermarks) only remove an essential component to the image: the authenticity. This brings to the images a second level: more than the status of works of art, watermarks brings virtuality to them. The watermark explains that what you see is not genuine. And so no longer interesting. But the watermark can be artistic. The UAVM Virtual Museum presents 11 works of 11 artists who have focused on this issue: Chia (Taiwan), Gianny Sutera (IT), Gruppo Sinestético (IT), Henry Gwiazda (USA), Ida Julsen (Norway), Joseph Jinson (India), Mike Davies (UK), Rui Fonseca (BR), Sarah Boothroyd (Canada), Sebastien Seifert (Spain), Silvio Cro (PT).
