GXF ART SLIDE SET “TIMES SQUARE” NFT COLLECTION 08/36 Transmissions of Light
This is a cross-section of my original NYC Time Square image of the in-camera photographic "Transmissions of Light" collection. This small section of Time Square lights a unique composition that stands automatically divided & destined to hold its own aesthetic value. One of a Kind, this hybrid art-piece is part of a 36 slide collection. This 35mm slide is hand-signed, editioned, & embedded with a QR Code containing the ownership of this GXF Art Slide; a 1/1 Non-Fungible Token (ERC-721) blockchain asset.
The complete "TimesSquare" NFT is an NFT edition of 25 distributed at #NFT.NYC with #KnownOrigin in Times Square, NYC on 2/20/2020. https://knownorigin.io/edition/131825
The technique I've developed for the Transmission of Light series consists of a fluid control of axis, focus, time, & position continuously shifting to accommodate the complexities of manual camera use. This image is created by the waves of phosphorus, neon, and the energy-efficient light-emitting diodes (LED) in the ever-lit visual playground of Times Square NYC. The resulting photograph creates a textural mapping, a lightwave based blueprint of space & time. As an antithesis to AI; this intentional use of manual choices has created images with a slight nature of an energetic heart that no computer can generate. The location subtly reveals itself through hints of landmarks, morphed logos, typeface, and elements of human abstraction. Variations of lights, wattages, and efficiencies of the city’s nightlife bring a proprietary pallet of colors and textural markings that interlace within the composition. This is my celebration for the array of color spectrums illuminating with visual symphonies of night-time experience. As I walk with my camera in a sea of cultures, I become one with the Infinitum. giselflorez.com | newyorkicecreamgallery.com
