General View / Synopsis of "Gradation-Project: MASKS"

1 Graduation of a scale

The human torso means in "Gradation-Project: MASKS"  an anatomical and aesthetic term for the parts of the human bodies and relationships. It is sometimes referred to as the trunk. The masks includes  in parts thorax, abdomen and like in the project-series: "behind, front, hands, interact, legs, trunks and varia" of the bodies with narrative environs and backgrounds ( Venus of Lespugue, Wilhersdorf ... Torso of Herakles... Venus of Milo... Models...). The series tell the pathological  syndroms of Burn-Out-, Multi-Tasking-Society, but beautiful parts -isolated - too.

2 Fragmentation

a) as process of globalisation  and individual isolation means organization of production in which different stages of production are divided among different suppliers that are located in different countries and  outside the region in which fragmentation happens. This kind of fragmentation is an important part of contemporary globalization.

b) Fragmentation - as disparity - refers  to the absence or the underdevelopment of connections between the society and the groupings of some members  of that society on the lines of a common culture, nationality, race, language, occupation, religion, income level, or other common interests.

c) In art composition fragmentation is the use of fragments or the "division of a art ideas ( gesture, motive, theme....) into segments TO CREATE A  INSTABLE  EQUALITY in art-projects.

Walter Prankl

The computer-generated scenes by  artist Walter Prankl The interactive projection allows the viewer to take a self-guided tour of a virtual walking of the  spaces of derived from digital manipulations of photography . Prankl presents a poetic world of colourfull invention to create an intricate spatial narrative.

Prankl worked with the computer as a formal artistic tool and means of expression. He combines a variety of traditional media with computer techniques in order to articulate a deep concern with the histories of philosophy and art. The artist also shares an interest in human thought processes and the interplay between external images in the world and internal images in the mind. Undertaken as an open-ended investigation, his art is concerned with transience and states of change, and deals in surrealistic effects, associative thinking, and temporal multiplicity.

Walter Prankl (born 1935) is regarded as an "architectural poet" of new mixed media. His experiments with digitally reworked animations combine documentary graphics, sculptures, architecture, photography, and computer-generated imagery, conflating reality and fantasy. He reduced forms, his mainly figurative imagery intentionally blurs the hierarchy among humans, animals, plants, and iconic objects. Filled with associative, often cyclical image-streams, his work generally revolves around problems of representation-specifically rules governing individual and collective memory about what it means to perceive, store, and recollect visual knowledge in both time and space.
