]]> Comment on Wade Guyton: X is to Y as by Wade Guyton | Intro to Computer Art! https://ifacontemporary.wordpress.com/2012/12/31/wade-guyton-x-is-to-y-as/#comment-722 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 19:17:16 +0000 http://ifacontemporary.wordpress.com/?p=1452#comment-722 […] On Wade Guyton: “Camera is to scanner as photograph is to printer painting, all its misalignments, spatters, and empty spaces included. For both the camera and the scanner, the medium in question is dispersed. Painting is to paint as photograph is to light, to chemicals, to camera. Guyton’s hand is present in the selection, the framing, the culling, and in on the content of the screen: the juxtapositions, layerings, tonalities, saturations, and enlargements. These latter processes bear striking resemblance to darkroom edits; burn, dodge, superimpose. In this sense, despite the scanner’s proclivity to capture everything it sees, Guyton’s post-scan edits—like the photographer’s post-snap edits—work against this “generosity,” so the image conveys, to a higher degree, the author’s intentionality.” For more from this essay: https://ifacontemporary.wordpress.com/2012/12/31/wade-guyton-x-is-to-y-as/ […]

In my view, if only all site owners and blog owners wrote great
content as you did, the internet would be much
more better than before.

I came across the name of Guyton while reading about Michael Williams. I didn’t give more than a cursory glance until I came across this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9MAHzzi94Hs) and this (http://instagram.com/p/llgzlhnzPn/). I am very interested in this line of conceptual art. (Although,) I can only really think of Christopher Wool. Cheers.

Hi Darby, Thank you for your comment and I apologize for the mistake! It may have been more correct for me to simply express that these styles (Minimalism, Op Art, etc), which had dominated critical attention during this period, were characterized generally by a reduction in subject matter and the movement towards formal “purity” in art. I can make an edit to the original post to remove the quotation, since I understand how it may not accurately support the point I intended to make. Again, I appreciate your feedback!

I actually wrote “This use of subject matter weakens a work to the extent that the work depends on it.” Not only is this a misquote but it ignores and completely distorts the entire context in which the quote appears.
