The body of work
consisting of prints and video produced over the past decade is collectively called
“Imaging Biodiversity”. It is about seeing the things that live on our planet
in a particular intense way. This happens by using extreme resolution, extended
focus and enlargements through scanning and HD Video that are the critical
technical elements of my working process. Coming from a printmaking/print media
background, handmade papers are the preferred carriers of the images produced.
Technology of the time has always been the main driver of printing techniques
from the past to the present and today there are more available to the
artist than ever before. The images have generated great interest in the scientific
community and so it was inevitable that my work would involve the science
of the creatures themselves: taxonomy, biogeography, ecology and even such
knowledge as botany. More and more, I have been inspired to see larger meanings
for what I do: explorations of places where science and art intersect and
how the social aspects of awareness and appreciation affect what we choose
to preserve or protect in this world. My work bridges the gap between
aesthetics and technology—between the public spectacle of art and the more
esoteric world of scientific research. Joseph Scheer
在过去十年中，印刷品和录像作品的主体被统称为”成像生物多样性”。它是关于目睹的事物，这些事物以一种特别强烈的方式生活在我们星球上。这是通过使用极端的分辨率，扩展的焦点和通过扫描和高清视频放大物，是我的工作过程中的关键技术因素。由于版画或平面媒体的背景，手工制作的纸制品是首选的图像生成载体。从过去到现在，当时的技术一直是印刷技术的主要驱动力。相对于过去现如今有更多技术可供艺术家使用。这些图像对科学界产生了极大的兴趣，因此我的工作不可避免地会涉及生物本身的科学：分类学、地理、地理学、生态学甚至是植物学等知识。我得到越来越多的启发，看到我所做的事情的更大意义：探索科学和艺术相交的地方，以及社会方面的认识和品味将如何影响我们在这个世界上选择保护或保护的东西。我的作品弥合了美学与技术之间的鸿沟—艺术的公共奇观和更深奥的科学研究世界的鸿沟。
