[ISEA2015] Poster: Leslie Nobler – Disruption in Reconstruction

Abstract (Poster)

Keywords: Digital Art, Art History, DIY, Printmaking, Inkjet Paper, Aura, Lace, Textiles.

DIY for the digital artist must be thoughtfully considered. The unknown printing-tech at an online store is vastly different than the artist’s substrate preparation and pulling a print. Art utilizing “newness” (and its ease) alone is no substitute for art historical knowledge, reflection and time-honored, maker-engaged technique. I specifically explore that of book and needlework artists in my work. Much of the value in the computer art object rests in its connection to art’s roots.
