Intersection between personal image making and the role of technology to enhance
or change the image making process
“My roots in photography, an art form founded on the premise that seeing
is believing, is now being challenged by the computer and new visual imaging
devices. I am searching to incorporate a new visual language into my personal
work and to develop new approaches to deal with the impact of technology.”
Artist: Harrison Higgs (USA)
Title: higgs1_above
Harrison Higgs has been creating visual art using the digital image since
1988, when he first scanned a piece of dirt on the lid of a flatbed scanner.
He slowly moved on to more ambitious work, scanning the surface of a 5-inch
television monitor in order to screen-capture local televangelism broadcasts
in Nashville, Tennessee. His process has evolved considerably, and now includes
the building of tableau, incorporating digital imaging, alternative photography,
and printmaking. His most recent work utilizes wide-format 7-color pigment-based
inkjet prints. Higgs received his MFA from the University of Washington, and
his undergraduate degree from Vanderbilt University. He is a practicing artist
and educator at Washington State University Vancouver.

In today's world, computers are used to simplify our lives. However, as an
artist, I find computers and the digital world to be tools that must be taken
seriously, because they inherently reflect the artist and his work. If my
work is considered in its mathematical and digital realm, then we can see
the duality of the human created art and the binary basis of digitizing. It
is of the greatest importance that the humanity of the artists reveals itself
truly and is not overshadowed by the technology. It is within these considerations
that I come to a dilemma where I must find artistic parameters within the
unlimited power of technology. When my work is saved as a psd file in Adobe
Photoshop, I am at liberty to change, alter, or rework my pieces at will.
My pieces, as stored files, remain alive and not complete with the resoluteness
of, for example, a painting. Therein lies the challenge of finding closure
and the end point to all the pieces.
While the technology poses challenges, I find my expression in the limitless
possibilities of producing my art in any shape or size allowable. Having this
digital world as my artistís tools allows me to cross-reference literature
and poetry with imagery. It is within the layering and the cross-referencing
that the artistís character and soul emerge. To me, each layer is another
virtual poem laid upon another one. My works contained hundreds of layers,
each seperate as itís own poem, yet each connect to all as a whole.
My goal is create a new genre of digital art, what I call ìvirtual
poems
