light drawings
i dig a pony ...............gardens of alipasna polje ....after thefall ................radovan's girl
light drawings, recent works, such as caffe bar Flash Art, the gardens of ali pasa polje and after the fall, are reworkings of photographs I took in Bosnia-Herzogonia in the 1990s. I have digitally re-worked the photographs to appear like drawings, a reference to the word 'photography' meaning 'light drawing'.
The process also includes erasing certain parts of the image. In 'editing' these once 'documentary' photographs I choose, like the photo editor of a newspaper or magazine, to highlight or remove certain information. But in these works the manipulation becomes evident to the viewer who is forced to distinguish between the 'subjective' hand of the drawer and the 'objective' eye of the photographer.
The resulting works defy categorization as either documentary or aesthetic, photograph or drawing; but seek to provoke a discussion on these categories themselves.

new works
temp path ..............mirror(... echo) ................charcode/ nologo ..............pale sensation
temp path, and charcode/nologo combine photographic images from my archive with samples of virus source code. In mirror (narcissism's echo) I have sampled source code from sound software, used to provide an echo effect. Text and image meet at a connotative level by means of a metaphor (ie the connection between a mirror and an echo).
pale sensation is derived from a photograph I took in 1996 at a campaign rally in Pale, Bosnia. The subjects of the photograph are the journalists and camera crews present at the rally; a fact heightened by erasure of details and use of digital filters to make the image appear like a large scale drawing. The cameraman in the forground reminds me of Velazquez by his easel in Las Meninas. The staged media event has become the atelier of our age.

new works 05: source code images
avebury/kournik..1 avebury/kournikova2 avebury/kournikova3 GlobalFree state.buffer
The series avebury/kournikova combines digitally reworked photographs with source code from the Kournikova virus. The resulting images are digitally altered with a series of algorithms to imitate brushstrokes; then printed on canvas and stretched. GlobalFree state.buffer combines a photograph of part of a sufi (Bektashi) monastery in Tetovo, Macedonia with source code from the MyDoom virus.
More examples of the source code series can be found on my website at this link

"Melissa is the first combination Word macro virus and worm to use the Outlook and Outlook Express address book to send itself to others via E-mail. "

Source code from the Melissa virus is placed over a digitally altered photograph of the Ottoman bridge of Visegrad, Bosnia, famously described in Ivo Andric's novel Bridge on the River Drina, suggesting a somewhat darker side to the bridge as an architectural and/or communicative element.

the EMPIRE series, 2003
This series explores the `time resistance’ of three media: photography, painting and television. The immediate subject of the series is the U.S. invasion of Iraq in March/April 2003. The images are photographs taken of BBC broadcasts during the war. The inclusion of the TV screen, as well as the BBC logo, remind the viewer that she is watching a (historical) event indirectly. This is very much what the Canadian writer Michael Ignatieff referred to during the earlier (first) gulf war as the TV or `virtual war’. The viewer often has access to events in real time, although in an often sanitised and always virtual form.
By the use of digital filters the images have been altered so as to appear like paintings. They have `virtual’ paint strokes, and are printed on canvas. They are in effect photographs of TV images masquerading as counterfeit paintings. As such they point to photography’s intermediate and mediating role between the ephemeral character of television images and the eternal aspect of history painting.

the kasimir series: a new net.art piece by Christian de Lutz
Among the urban myths that have predominated since 9-11 is the belief that Al-Qaeda hid secret messages in data, which they then sent over the net. As far as I know this is only a myth. Yet it dovetails with all the 'chatter' about encryption, hacking and the famed 'echelon' intelligence gathering system. In my kasimir series I have taken up this conceit. I have hidden two secret messages in two HTML files, masquerading as abstract images. One is a quick note to Denisa Kera. The second is a letter to Yuri Albert, describing my experiences taking part in his performance in Berlin in January 2004.
Should anyone fail to find the message I have enclosed a 'note' to the piece. All three pages can be accessed through my net.art portal http://net.cdelutz.net
