Disociar

Screens can function as a defense mechanism to disconnect from emotions. I would like to remember everything I saw, but I still don’t know how Breaking Bad ends. I look at the screen and it seems like I’m there. It seems, because I’m not there, I’m nowhere. Confused and overwhelmed, the mind rests until the next crisis.

Technical, aesthetic and conceptual development

Inspired by Herbert W. Franke’s oscillograms and the use of calculus to create repeating shapes and structures. Franke called his creations “cybernetic aesthetics” (the aesthetics of mathematics). “Dissociate” is a digital work of static, generative and conceptual nature, made up of primitive 2D figures: lines, circles and squares that make up the room in the dark with a barely visible light on the left and a screen that returns a representation of noise. It is generative because it is generated based on established parameters and variables, and it is conceptual because it is the idea that prevails over the technique.

In the process of making a work of art there is always a distance (even a discrepancy) between the initial conception and the final product.” Camnitzer, Conceptual Art and conceptualism in Latin America.

In “The Work Beyond the Object” by Nathalie Heinich, arbitrariness and choice are mentioned as a creative act of the artist. It could be said that this work of trial and error was based on subjectivity and the choice of the direction of the lines that make up the different graphic textures to carry out an idea.
