Mixed media pieces by Nandan Ghiya
Using a combination of photographs, paints, and other found items, self-taught artist Nandan Ghiya creates interesting mixed media pieces which address the profound influence of digital technologies, the web and social networks in contemporary artistic practice. According to Nandan,”We all recycle, clip and cut, remix and upload. We can make images do anything. All we need is an eye, a brain, a camera, a phone, a laptop, a scanner, a point of view. And when we’re not editing, we’re making. We’re making more than ever, because our resources are limitless and the possibilities are endless.”

Spinning/Breathing, 2012
Stelarc & WoDThe performance was devised for the Oslo Suspension Symposium 2012 with Havve Fjell and Wings of Desire. Five bodies were suspended with their breathing amplified by wireless microphones stapled to their cheeks. The insertions were done, in position, standing up. Two bodies were counterbalanced on one bar and three bodies were counterbalanced on another bar. Once hoisted up, the bars were turned and the bodies were spun on their axis. The turning and spinning choreography of the multiple bodies was registered by their sometimes synchronized, sometimes arrhythmic breathing. Three cameras were positioned in the space to monitor the suspension process, with an additional hand-held mobile camera. The performance was streamed live to the Internet, but was censored part-way through the performance. The performance was terminated when one of the participants passed out. The actual suspension time was approximately 21 minutes.

I’m compiling a list of all the Art and Photo Tumblrs out there that are worth following. I’d really appreciate any reblogs of this post, the more people we have contributing to the list the better!
I’m looking for Tumblrs that feature works by different artists and give credit to the original creators. Do not submit Tumblrs that feature work by just one person (ie. portfolio sites) or Tumblrs that do not give credit to any work.
Submit your Tumblr and see the most up to date list: HERE.
