Since the inception of the craft, digital artists have been restricted. We were held back as creatives making the only way to “make it” through the commercial, tv or movie industries. We have been told our art was worthless, indoctrinated to believe it. The digital age has now given us value, we have been given provenance, we have been set free. Right now, we are in a melting pot—chaotic, jumbled together, all under one umbrella…we are searching for our place in this chaos. Some will rise and become artists of this century while others will fail and be filtered out. New styles of art are emerging, while others are whittling and dying again. En Route is a piece that was inspired by Hans Haackes Blue sail installation from 1964. With En route I envisioned doing something highly technical; making the impossible loop. By taking the erratic nature of a piece of cloth in the wind and seamlessly looping it, I have created a contemporary art installation viewed through a screen. While Hans Haackes was restricted by basic physics, I am not. I’ve done the impossible—this is art in transformation.
