This series is a derivative of Pixelscapes utilizing halftone conversions, gradient filters and the Huerot applet to explore Abstract Expressionism. In visual experiences, harmony engages the viewer, and it creates an inner sense of order, a balance in the visual experience. Observing the effects colors have on each other is the starting point for understanding the relativity of color.

Video Thoughts are just that- they are a series of environmental and emotionally induced experimental videos that not only identifies and reflects "everyday monotony", but also attempts to fuse the use of both digital and analog methods of creating organic effects in a digital landscape.

The four images (all archival digital prints) to be shown were made over a four year period. Each is part of a larger series. They are all explorations of interference between arrays, planes and repeating figures. Like music or traditional painting, they're only successful if they create an emotional resonance.

Max Held is the pseudonym of a photographer. He studied architecture and painting at Cooper Union and visual communication at Parsons School of Design. He taught photography at Parsons and visual communication and communication technology at Pratt Institute. Always a painter, it is only a happy, if complicated accident that he acheived success as a photographer. This "day job" has allowed him to work and develop sheltered from the demands of the traditional gallery-museum environment.

My work is an attempt to involve the viewer in an exploration of our familiar visual reality by juxtaposing it with a reality of my own creation. The artworks I create are based on the moiré phenomenon. Two interacting arrays of elements, on parallel planes, create a mathematically delineated and completely predictable pattern space that interpenetrates the familiar space we inhabit. In perceiving the elements that interact, as well as the phantom shapes that emerge, we become aware of our active participation in the creation of visual reality.

I consider myself a life-long artist who has not, until recently, seriously pursued art as a career. I received B.A and M.A. degrees in fine arts from the University of Dallas, and then spent the next 25 years in the prepress end of the commercial printing industry, applying much of what I learned there to ongoing artistic explorations. Recent developments in digital output technology have finally allowed me to bring these explorations to fruition.

Many of my videos are explorations of the relation between image and sound; the way the two can be played off one another and the varying degree of space (diagetic and otherwise) allowed for by audio-visual relationships. I am most interested in working with concrete sources, but in such a way that the referents become disassociated with both their source and that source's allegory, metaphor, and conceptual baggage.

A graduate of the UT Austin Fine Arts Dept., Alex Killough has been messing with electronic media for some number of years.

Currently an MFA candidate at the California College of Arts and Crafts, Killough's work has been shown (outside of various drinking establishments) at the Fine Arts Cinema, Berkeley, and at the Jamail Swim Center at UT Austin....
