Description

Animated GIF 800 x 600 px, 24fps 128 Colors 2021 The works from Mark Dorf’s series “The Way We’ve Always Seen” uncover connections between technology, design, urbanism, and what is commonly considered “Nature”—connections that have always existed in symbiosis, but are rarely recognized as reality. View VII gently pulls the viewer in and out of a mountainside steeped in blue and purple with a slow zoom. This zoom sits in contrast not only to the speed of global technological culture, but also to that of the bar at the bottom of the composition that strongly resembles a loading animation. The bar itself never resolves and is forever stuck in perpetual motion as though whatever it is signifying that it is loading is also forever unresolved. This lack of resolve suggests the idea of forever being in a state of becoming—the constant flow of material, form, emotion, and knowledge between what is commonly called the “Natural World” and that of the Technological, is never in its final form: it is constantly in a state of transformation. The subtle and deceivingly simple relationships between the visual forms in View VII suggest a symbiosis that is essential to a paradigm shift in thought required to create a more fruitful future for the planet on which we live.
