Nathaniel Stern

I recently came across this multi media Artist who I thought was pretty interesting. His name is Nathaniel Stern. He does video art, printmaking, and installation. He creates these per formative prints where he uses a custom-made scanner and battery pack along with his laptop. He scans imagery in various lakes, and other landscapes. The per formative aspect of it comes in when he does things like, tie the scanner around his neck and swing over flowers, or do pogo-like gestures over bricks. When I read this on his website, it made me laugh because its just such a playful thing to do. It's refreshing when Artists show a carefree/childlike side to their work/process. After he has the image's, he crops them and uses more traditional processes like hand coloring, lithography, engraving along with others.
