{"name":"Flight","description":"From the current Yonder series, I am offering a selection of digital C-prints and moving image works, that address the entangled crises of our contemporary tangible and virtual selves.\n\nEach of these works derives from a series of 3D LiDAR scans that I have created with my iPhone, to represent my thoughts on selfhood as it is expressed within the radical phenomenology provided by the advent of mixed reality. The invention of tube paints had a significant impact on 19th century painters, who could suddenly take their practice outdoors, painting \"from life.\" \n\nToday, a handheld \"phone\" (i.e., a mobile device that operates as a minicomputer) can capture volumetric impressions of life. As I walk the streets of New York, sit in the window seat of an airplane, lie on my bed covered with plastic objects painted gold, or hold my \"avatar mannequin\" in front of a bathroom mirror, it is through \"a scanner darkly\" I go. For Yonder, I re-construct these \"3D snapshots\" into fragmentary mise-en-scènes, through a multi-media process that includes 3D animation, digital painting and AI generated imagery. In each of these works, appearing as human, cyborg and avatar, I embody my (and our) collectively shared anxieties in an attempt to release them at this excruciating moment within our human timeline. In this context, \"yonder\" is a place and state of being, just within sight, but not quite. \n\nEven when we perceive we have arrived, much remains illusory.\n\nDetails: \nPrint: 44 x 25 inches, archival digital C-Print produced by the artist\nVideo: 1920 x 1080 pixels; 2 minute (looping video)","image":"ipfs://QmZREmcDsrjJDv522ooF7yaiWxBV7yy79uKVXWwUa8U6zL","external_url":"https://www.1stdibs.com/nft/art/flight/id-n_0CgsY4QSI6/","animation_url":"https://a.1stdibscdn.com/dist/nft/Carla+Gannis/Flight_CarlaGannis_2021_1_display.mp4","created_year":"2021","archival_url":"","attributes":[{"trait_type":"edition","value":"1/1"},{"trait_type":"medium","value":"MP4 Digital Video + Archival Digital C-Print"},{"trait_type":"year created","value":"2021"},{"trait_type":"category","value":"art"},{"trait_type":"artist","value":"Carla Gannis"},{"trait_type":"Preventive Conservation Notes for Born-Digital Components","value":""},{"trait_type":"Display","value":""},{"trait_type":"Copyright","value":""},{"trait_type":"Transfer of Ownership","value":""}],"media":{"url":"ipfs://QmZREmcDsrjJDv522ooF7yaiWxBV7yy79uKVXWwUa8U6zL","web_url":"https://a.1stdibscdn.com/dist/nft/Carla+Gannis/Flight_CarlaGannis_2021_1_display.mp4","poster_frame_url":"https://a.1stdibscdn.com/dist/nft/Carla+Gannis/Flight_CarlaGannis_2021_1+POSTER.png","mime_type":"video/mp4","dimensions":"1920x1080","duration":120,"video_thumb":"https://a.1stdibscdn.com/dist/nft/Carla+Gannis/Flight_CarlaGannis_2021_1_thumb.mp4"}}
