Jan Willem Deiman →Live search( total items: 2 ) Jan Willem DeimanJan Willem Deiman is a Dutch artist whose work focuses on visual, auditive and physical experience and is based on minimal esthetics that refer to architecture, science and technology. His performances, videos and installations are mainly created by modifying a previously made design. This design is built with grids, lines and other graphic elements. In many ways he searches for a sublime experience obtained through abstraction. Despite of the fact that his self generative systems seem to relinquish control, the compositions deducted from these systems come across as well considered or even designed. Unillumined Corridors J. W. Deiman: Unillumined Corridors Unillumined Corridors is an abstract piece that can be seen both as a generative installation and as an abstract film. The piece is neither completely random, nor based on a completely fixed design. Different grids are combined to create compositions. However, the system has been made in a way that these compositions will never exactly repeat themselves and that there will be room for deviated pictures. The soundtrack is not a direct translation of the video or data but is based on field-recordings and a quote by Roger Scruton. The soundtrack exceeds the feeling of purely a system and creates a more filmic relation between image and sound. By a literally endless alternation of horizontal and vertical lines one experiences an atmospheric feeling of strongly changing scales that refers to textures and urban landscapes. |
