Item Overview

Description

Jay Yao (b.1980)
“Untitled 12 (Mr. Occam’s razor could
possibly cut both ways)”
Work from the series: “The Low Hum of a Drone” :Constant and
continuous exploration of aesthetics has allowed photographer
Jay Yao to utilize different platforms and machinery to be able to
obtain scenic shots acknowledging the onset of of 21st century
media. The concept was first realized in an immediate product
of an abstract geographical shot, the artist often differentiates from
the idea of a painting wherein the produce is gradually evolving.
This immediacy of form allowed the artist to compare it to his
experiences online, the instant communication, the faster capturing
of images/stories, the rampant sharing of ideas overtly changing
interpretation overtime, hence it becoming more candid, unrehearsed
yet holding a multitude of meanings, abstracted as he would call
it. This experience in the collective mind space affects the viewer
inasmuch as in feelings of both anxiety or calmness and sympathy
or apathy. The low hum of a drone is metaphorically a silent
observer, a medium the artist chose to shoot an entirety of bodied
scapes, which he likens to vast world of the internet. The artist’s
eyes hover as the drone continuously speculates, picking up images
he finds most profound.
