No Oil Painting: digital originals and slow prints
Jo Briggs, Mark Blythe · Northumbria Research Link (Northumbria University) · 2012
Slow technology is…in part a reaction against the impulses toward instantaneity afforded by digital technology. This paper explores the slow work of a contemporary ‘analogue’ painter in the context of current research enquiry into digital art, authenticity and value. A group of artists were recruited to take part in in depth interviews conducted in their studios. The paper describes the artist’s resolutely non digital practice and outlines a concept design for a ‘slow print’ based on his work.
