Description

Animated GIF 800 x 500px, 24fps, 128 colors 2021 The works from Mark Dorf’s series “The Way We’ve Always Seen” uncover connections between design, urbanism, and what is commonly considered “Nature”—connections that have always existed in symbiosis, but are rarely recognized as reality. Humans have always seen through the lens of technology whether that is the technology of early Mesopotamian agriculture or the omnipotent eyes of satellites orbiting the earth. The human species augments its experience of the world with technology. “Cohabitation” mixes contemporary technological views into a single composition. In the center of the image the viewer sees a 3D scan of a tree emerging from a plane textured with targets meant for camera calibration; to the left satellite views captured from far above the earth's surface scroll about; in the background a digital black and white photograph is skewed revealing color aberrations and its digital materiality; all within a frame that mimics that of a heads up display. By combining these elements together in a single image, the piece creates a portrait of an entangled world; a world that collapses what is perceived as natural and technological; and affirms that the human species has always existed alongside technology as the technological tools themselves image the source from which they are produced.
