Experienced

Digital images can show a person glimpses of the world. But a digital image cannot fully capture the true beauty of these places. People must physically go there; they must experience the culture, experience the people, experience the landscapes, because a digital image does not create memories or experience, traveling does. With this piece, the artist hopes to inspire people to create their own memories, for it is impossible to understand the beauty of a country simply by looking through pictures from “home.”
In this series, the artist took images and footage from a 2011 trip to New Zealand and Australia. These digital images were edited from a blackberry camera, HD camera, and found footage. It includes three sets of generative images and a piece created from two different mediums, sound and image. The sound in this piece represents nature and industry. These are common everyday sounds that are familiar to the viewer. There are also unfamiliar sounds, these represent what you do not understand beyond the image itself. So, that being said, it’s time for you to create your own meaning.
