6 Self Portrait, 2013In a career spanning almost 50 years Douglas D. Prince manages to stay immensely curious about new technology and manages to keep making fresh and relevant images in todays world. This increasingly takes the form of using internet as a camera, using pre-existing images as a basis for his work.
Douglas Prince uses the vast possibilities of the technology and the unlimited availability of images as an excuse to be completely free; his images span a large range of styles and subjects and techniques and have in common only that they are poignant and significant.
Douglas Prince’s work is part of several notable permanent collections, among which the Museum of Modern Art, New York. He has been teaching photography at universities around the USA since the 1970s.
He currently teaches at the New Hampshire Institute of Art in Manchester, NH.Three images from Epidermis are now available as a digital edition at The File Arts. The download contains 3 JPG images from the series at their full resolution, wallpapers for desktop and iOS of the images and a PDF with background information on the images, the process and the artist.
This edition is on offer for $15,- for the first week. After thursday 26th April 2013 it will be $20,- So Buy now…
Blake Fall-Conroy Sculpture - artist statement.
Blake Fall-Conroy is the artist who made the crank-machine below and I am glad I took the trouble to trace that back to his website; lots of great work there!
This machine allows anyone to work for minimum wage for as long as they like. Turning the crank on the side releases one penny every 4.97 seconds, for a total of $7.25 per hour. This corresponds to minimum wage for a person in New York. This piece is brilliant on multiple levels, particularly as social commentary. Without a doubt, most people who started operating the machine for fun would quickly grow disheartened and stop when realizing just how little they’re earning by turning this mindless crank. A person would then conceivably realize that this is what nearly two million people in the United States do every day…at much harder jobs than turning a crank. This turns the piece into a simple, yet effective argument for raising the minimum wage.
