Artist Statement:
http://bryantdameron.com
Sunlight was our constant; the
same cycling quality of light
since the dawn of our
existence. We call the light
day, and it is one of our
basic units for understanding
time. For light's absence we
harnessed fire to fill the
void - huddled around the
dancing flames our enchantment
with the flicker began. Now
the flicker is blue, not
orange, and we are the ashes
of the monitor's burning
image.
The mental trick of
persistence of vision is now
more valuable than seeing with
one's own eyes. More and more
images are our validation.
Stoic screens leave us more
connected to unnatural, flat
celebrity faces than to our
next-door-neighbors.
The constant non-pattern of
sunlight is replaced by the
flickering ghost simulacra of
the screen. We close our
window blinds to block the
glare of sunlight from our
screens for sixty half-images
per second to bombard the
retina. Copies of copies of
photons are transferred from
wave to particle to wave to
particle and bring blue ocean
waves to suburban living rooms
at 2 AM. From communal
campfires to quiet streets of
strangers watching strangers.
Flickering ghost simulacra is
