What Is Art?

Art is such a personal thing that I am not sure this question can be answered completely. For me art is something that I personally think to be beautiful, something that makes me think about the world or see something from another perspective. Art is no longer a painting or a drawing, the evolution of technology has meant that it now covers a light show or immersive, interactive experiences (anyone experience The Curiosity Cloud as part of London Design Festival last month?). For me there is something transient about the meaning of art, not just the work hanging on gallery walls or the editions being sold by artists worldwide but in the more every day designs we encounter. It used to be that only oil paintings or sculptures were considered to be art, now it can be anything. Previously the only ephemeral art form was flyers or posters pasted on a wall, perhaps this is still true but digital art also has ephemeral qualities, yet at the same time it has permanence. If you missed a light show or projection on the side of a building, that’s it, it’s gone, but YouTube can help you capture the essence of the experience. People collect posters, flyers and postcards because they like the way they look. You can spend hours working on a digital painting only to have the file corrupt on you when you try and open it again – not only a lesson in remembering to back up multiple file versions but also an example of how temporary the digital landscape can be. Recreating that painting is possible but starting from scratch means that not every pixel will be in the same place as before. [...]

Lots of interest at Photo Plus Expo, New York, October 22-24th

Last week Innova took a stand at the annual Photo Plus Expo at the Javits Centre in New York City. We had a great time; many people were drawn in by the stunning aerial photos by Ken Scruggs and transformed into art prints by the Photoshop talents of David Osborn. It was fantastic to have such a positive response to the images on the booth and even better to hear some of the stories visitors told. With over 21,000 creatives attending the conference arranged by Photo District News magazine each year it was not a surprise to hear that the Innova booth in the expo hall was busy for the duration of the show. A selection of professional photographers, enthusiasts, film makers and educators stopped by to find out more about fine art printing and how they can get the most from their images using Innova papers. A product drawing a lot of interest was the Innova Art Cards, 220gsm matte art paper stock, coated on two sides so you can print a design on the outside and a message on the inside. Pre scored for easy folding, no need to print your photo separately and attach with messy glue and available in two sizes, packed in quantities of 100 cards and envelopes, Art Cards are the simple way to send out portfolio samplers, exhibition invites or great if you need a last minute greeting card and can’t get to the store. Always popular is the FibaPrint® Range of fine art photographic papers, a pioneer of digital darkroom technology, Innova set the bar for high quality digital equivalents to traditional darkroom papers. This was proven by the amount of interest in the range at Photo [...]

Innova Art: another perspective on the bigger picture at Photo Plus Expo

Take flight with Innova Art at Photo Plus Expo (NY, Oct 22-24), where the leading digital media company presents an exhibition of specially commissioned aerial photo-art by Ken Scruggs and David Osborn. Shown for the very first time at Photo Plus Expo, the images present a stunning new perspective on our world. As the founder and owner of Midwest Aerial, Ohio, Ken Scruggs is one of the world’s leading exponents of aerial photography. With six aircraft, three state-of-the-art DMC II-140s and four Zeiss RMK TOP film cameras, Midwest Aerial leads the field in the airborne acquisition of high-quality digital imagery and photography for clients and business partners in both the private and public sectors. Scruggs first met the award-winning photographer David Osborn this summer when he attended one of Osborn’s Photoshop workshops. Scruggs wanted to learn new techniques for improving his personal work, and knew he could look to Osborn for expert advice. The British photographer’s 35-year career in photo-journalism and international corporate work, together with his early adoption of digital technology, have made him a highly sought-after tutor and workshop leader, specialising in black and white landscape photography and digital retouching techniques. In the event, the meeting produced a two-way exchange. “After discussing what Ken did for a living, I could see the fine art potential of the aerial photo images,” says David. “I offered my skills to demonstrate some of the Photoshop processes that could be used to enhance his images into something truly amazing.” “Aerial photo-art offers another perspective on the world we all share. Thanks to digital imaging technology, matched to the supreme quality of Innova Art’s fine art digital media, it reveals both the wonders of nature, and the scale [...]
