Andy Warhol the computer geek

This video, and the interview re-published at artnode, seem like more proof that the brilliance of the artist is often quite distant from the brilliance of the onlooker. Surrounded by "modern technology", he might, in retrospect, appear like a child enjoying his toys. Especially in the interview, it seems like it's the journalist who has all these great ideas, and Warhol just happily agrees with what he hears...
The enthusiasm for new technologies, when watched twenty years later, has something funny, but also something eery about it.
But if you read carefuly, there is one remarkable moment: when the journalist suggests that Andy (and the other artists) can now do everything by themselves - music, video, editing, etc., the artist agrees. But when asked if he has been doing it, he answers he hasn't had time because he is still exploring the visual art side of the computer.
So beyond this enthusiasm for all that is new, lies an aproach that is at once pragmatic and somehow... healthily conservative?

I have always dreamt of a place where enormous rabbits run around willy-nilly. Apparently that place is the UK.

Two Police Officers Given the Run-Around by Giant White Rabbit

Isn't he adorable? I showed the article to Bubbles and asked her if we could adopt him but she is understandably worried that he will eat all the dark leafy greens in a 50 mile radius.

Despite already having 456,782 pairs of hand-knit mittens, I've always wanted a pair of fuzzy light colored mittens. I knit up the same mitten pattern DH was shown wearing recently in Elann's worsted weight alpaca (exact same needle sizes) and I like the result (still wet from blocking).

I also found an error in the pattern which made me realize I'm rushing my upcoming mitten booklet so I am purposely slowing down. I want to knit all the patterns twice to check for errors and show each of the five mitten designs in two color combos. At this point I don't think it will be done until May but it will hopefully be error-free with the best photographs I can muster.

This weekend I'm going to see if I can get DH to make a video of me doing this simple braid on the cuff to show you here.

I just sent $250 to the Colorado House Rabbit Society from my booklet and pattern sales. I'm aiming for a total donation of $1000 this year. In 2008 I made about as much as I did in 2007 despite adding many new patterns so I will try to just keep the same donation number from the previous two years. I'd love to send more because their annual vet bills alone are $40,000 a year and more pet rabbits are being relinquished to shelters than ever so we'll see.

Telling A Story With A Photograph

On a Saturday afternoon in February, I had the pleasure to spend quality time with the Suncoast Seabird Sanctuary in Tampa, Florida to learn and document through photographs just how severe the problem is of hooked and injured Brown Pelicans. Standing on the south pier of the Sunshine Skyway Pier which offers one of the most dramatic panoramic views of Tampa Bay, it also is one of the most popular spots on the west coast of Florida to fish as the pier offers world-class opportunities and attracts both the recreational and professional fishermen alike. It is also here that Brown Pelicans are hooked and injured. Through the dedication and hearts of numerous volunteers they are rescued, rehabilitated and released back into the wild.

While I photograph Brown Pelicans quite a bit here in Tampa, Florida, it wasn't until I spent that Saturday did I learn more in a few hours then all of my prior years photographing them combined. This was more about being a photojournalist then a wildlife photographer, and timing and speed is everything. Being able to think on the fly about lens choice, aperture, composition, depth of field, focus point, ISO, exposure, shutter speed and perspective must come natural and at a split second, for if I miss the shot, then the story won't be told. I have no time to think about what has happened, but only about what is going to happen and I have to be ready for it.

This is where all my years of experience comes together, and it is that experience that allows me to tell the story using my photographs. It is through those photos that I must draw emotion, educate and give an insight into an event that few have ever seen. I can't fumble with my equipment or be unsure of myself, as I must be in position, ready and not be shy about doing it. All the while in the back of my mind I am looking for that one shot to bring it all together to put the finishing touches on the story. I can't use words, for as once a wise man said "A picture is worth a thousand words...".

It was then that I turned around and found it...

Juvenile Brown Pelican

I want to thank the Suncoast Seabird Sanctuary for allowing me to spend a day with them on the Sunshine Skyway Pier to observe, document and learn more about these adorable birds.

I highly encourage anyone who not only loves to fish, but also has an interest in enjoying these birds get involved by volunteering in their local area or just by being more vigilant in keeping an eye out for these beautiful birds. It is up to all of us to see that our water and shore birds are here in Florida for generations to come, for without them, we will loose something special that we will never be able to replace.

Watching this with you would have been so much better

Here is what I imagine:
I invite all of you to my house (Warsaw, Poland), and together we sit and watch I Love Alaska. Maybe it's not because this is the perfect work to be enjoying with a group of people you've only just met. (It probably isn't). Maybe it has more to do with how surprizingly far this blog has led. In many ways.
One of them is you. Right now, there are hundreds of you coming to this blog every day. There is over a hundred people following New Art "formally" via blogger.com, plus many many others via feeds and such, plus the hundreds of people who drop by every now and then... I've been receiving your kind e-mails, and enjoy visiting all the blogs, portfolios, sites that you publish or recommend. Some of you have been coming here nearly since the beginning, but it's also very exciting for me to get feedback from newcomers. I've come to know you a little, and, so to speak, enjoy your company on this ride. Many of you are in the arts, others are students, for many of you I suppose this is more of a curious entertainment. All this means not only that you enjoy the art I showcase, but certainly, to some extent we share a common sensibility. Wouldn't it be delicious to have just a part of us meet and enjoy some of this art together? Sit down, have a glass of wine, watch the film, then talk about art and life and simplicity and complexity, and how the mountains are majestic, and America does or doesn't influence the world, and share other references (all the Brokeback Mountains, Into The Wilds, Cremasters that come to mind...), ideas, passions. (You know, meeting in real life someone you've hardly even known online ;))
Not a festival, but a get-together.
And then of course we would party all night, and probably go to the shore of the Vistula river, and maybe make a field trip the next day. But the moment of a genuine and common esthetic experience, together, would have been ours.
This is what I imagine.
And you know what? - we actually could do it.
(To be continued)

Two works by Christiane Löhr

Oh were this the universe!
Were it but a combination of lines, a simple picture of perfection, were the universe a set of twigs and seeds with their mathematical omnipotence!
Oh were there nothing else, nothing but the point where everything meets, nothing but the shape it all embodies. And the shadow of the reflection of a shadow of the Work, just to outscore its very depth of space, just to give us the distance we need to be closer.
Oh were it all we need, the joyful meeting of vectors, the unswerving presence of fragility.

Oh were there no shadow in the top left corner, coming from elsewhere.

Both pictures are of sculptures by Christiane Löhr.

In the past year I've been contacted by several knitters who were trying to find the Japanese booklet I used to make the Nordic gloves below. At the time I couldn't find a source but I just learned that NeedleArts Bookshop in Canada is selling many of the Japanese knitting books along with info on translation HERE.

The specific booklet this pattern came from is called Nordic Small Knitting and had by far the best, most-detailed glove charts I've ever encountered. You can see a photo of the gloves from the book on the bottom left at that link.

The big news in the knitting world is that Alice Starmore's Book of Fair Isle Knitting is going to be reprinted by Dover this August. Previously you had to take out a second mortgage to afford the out-of-print price. HERE is a photo of the new cover and this is the old cover.

I personally feel the Starmore book is the best color knitting book available and I don't even really like Fair Isle design that much. Alice Starmore has the best color skills I've ever seen. The book includes a photographic history of Fair Isle knitting, a few patterns, lots of great technique info (she is a proponent of the two-handed color knitting method) including photos and info on different types of steeks, and many charts so you can design your own projects. Where this book
really shines is in the rather long section where she talks about color. She takes photographs and replicates the colors in knitted Fair Isle swatches. She has two knitted swatches that are inspired by photos of cars! Who does that!!!???

Everyone who knits with two colors per row should have this book. I'm wondering if the Dover reprint will include the section of photographs and her knitted interpretations. My other two Dover reprints - the Sheila McGregor books on Fair Isle and Scandinavian Knitting - only have 4 color pages in the center of the books and some color photos on the cover. Looking at the book's page HERE it says color photos and shows everything in color. Plus the book is higher-priced than the McGregor books so I really hope they reprint the book completely in color. Anyway the reprint is great news for the world of knitting.
