Bottles in the Kitchen

Digital images - Digital Song

Digital Photograph Manipulated Digital PhotographDigital Painting - Dan Beck - 2006

The below lyrics are what these images are all about. They also formed a good backdrop for discussing some of the different kinds of digital art.

The story is a simple one - my housemate opened wine he didn’t like - nor anyone else and left them languishing in the kitchen.  But the night was really wonderful for me and my to become sweetheart  - the bottles have just sat there. 


Bottles in the kitchen
Red wine that was no good
Under cork fermenting
So sweet misunderstood

Chorus-
We didn’t drink them
But they manage to mark the time
They must be there to remind us
Of the day our worlds first intertwined

Bottles in the Kitchen
Sit like soldiers waiting
Asking to be uncorked
So Quietly disarming

Bottles in the kitchen
Half empty and still half full
Labels facing outward
Corked to keep from being spilled

Bottles in the Kitchen
Trophies of a strange sort
Opened the night we realized
Our love had become uncorked

Digital Meanings

Part 2 of Digital Confusion and Song Celebration

A Painting from a Photo? Digital what?

Bottles In the Kitchen - 1 more manipulation to photo

This is part 2 of a series which starts below or at this link. There are two subjects - first the different kinds of meaning around the digital medium and second, since I am focused on a particular image - the song which it relates to. 

The above photo has 2 manipulations done to it to create the look of a painting.  In this case it was simple and took very little time and voila - painting or is it?  The second filter is a crosshatch.  I actually think the image is kind of interesting - despite what I know to be done mostly by the computer.

I try to have the attitude of being open to anything which allows people to be more creative - the auto bass line of a keyboard - or the instant painting effects of photoshop.

But as an artist I don’t want people to think that my work - not what you see above - is generated by the computer.  The computer provides gradients and textures for me to work with and some tools - such as cutting and pasting, resizing, moving, tinting etc,  when I choose to use them.

But in the digital paintings I do - I start from a clean canvas - and the color and form is my adding - the computer program and the archival inks provide the new medium.
