- What if the Internet had a body? In his DUMBO studio, artist Daniel Gordon photographs paper collages constructed from found images downloaded from the Web. "I like to think about what I'm doing as an optimistic version of appropriation," says Gordon, who wonders if he can transport digital images into real life by giving them a physical form. The artist's paper tableaus, rich in vibrant colors and vivid patterns, are transformed in the process of making a picture with large format cameras. "It's a fiction and a truth at the same time," says Gordon, whose early "Flying Pictures" series (2001--2004) created whimsical illusions of the artist in mid-flight. The film reveals the behind-the-scenes process of two of Gordon's recent works-a silhouette of Ruby Sky Stiler (the artist's wife) and the still life "Blue Watermelon and Shell" (2013)-from photographing in the studio to the final printing process with Anthony Accardi at Green Rhino in Williamsburg. Also featuring the works "Toe Transplant" (2006), "Blue Face" (2010), "July 15, 2009" (2009), "Portrait in Orange and Blue" (2010), "Crescent Eyed Portrait" (2012), "Portrait in Yellow Orange and Blue" (2012), "Tropical Still Life" (2012), "Portrait with Blue Hair" (2013), "Still Life with Lobster" (2012), and "Still Life with Fish and Forsythia" (2013).
Daniel Gordon (b. 1980, Boston, MA; raised in San Francisco, California, USA) lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. Learn more about the artist at:

As an artist, I have total contempt for him and artist like him. What purpose does an artist like this serve is the grand narrative of art? His work is inconsequential as far as I am concerned. The one thing that is merely interesting about his work is his process. Yet, and still, his work is inconsequential. For by chance, his images accrued content depending on the images he finds. I simply do not subscribe his haphazard ways of creating "art" because he lacks content, and concept with feeble form.
Carl Euegene what art do you like Eugene?
How is it different than a painter choosing colors from a pallette? He is using images to 'paint' his photographs.
shut up carl
Hey Carl! Has your worldview expanded yet?
