it’s great that you’ve gone from not going to
believe it was not purpose I made my video
whole and finished in other ways but it’s
great that happened to you because of what
that I have spoken today is precisely
from this
of technology
[Music]
how we interact with the
technology a lot that work that you
they saw there is not a single job they are
many videos that I was doing for
year and I was trying to tell my story myself
I wanted to do a kind of biography
with my animations from the beginning
but the technology failed me once more
which is interesting because this has
been going through years I started
working animation
First of all, since I did not say this
whole I went to fine arts studied
painting was there bond is called painting
I went to parsons coming back from painting
and in my last year in new york
and I said there is something that does not fit there is something
missing in the
a painting is in the painting and there
something missing that I did not want to do
that I wanted to do something else I grew up
in capotillo very poor neighborhood my parents
they were poor there was not before I did not know
what was a painting I never had a
painting until I was about 16 years old
but when I was a child
I have I take off in school
Rich friends
that he had gotten them from star wars and
obviously violence my dad that I
they would buy what wolf testing was very
expensive
they were exaggeratedly expensive a fidel action
It cost like 5 pesos
that was all of which everyone
so
I do not know how exactly that happened but in
a moment I decided if I’m not going to
buy because it’s not reasoning like
the paper keeps bringing in that bow and
arrow
you know
a pendejo toy but also a
word
I see that this new official I am going to
do I believe that toy
I have called my talk the wine
urban and referring to me
to this term that has been coined now
with the western south
or do it yourself I grew up in a neighborhood and
no idea of ​​that I think that at that time
there was no such concept
but I already had the concept in mind
interesting of all this is that I grew up
As I told him I got into fine art
because it was common
the natural thing came a moment from all the
world and they said that little boy draws
too much arrived I’m not going to make you more the
problem is that already at the end of all
studies I said I think that reconnect
with what I did as a child
that something a little more free where I
I do not have to be rembrandt or chopped
they are and they go gogh
so I started doing
these puppets is very similar to the
manufacture that I had when I was a child
as a puppet that was that I took
colored plastic bottle or pen
anything said the toy itself
I know transformers like this to star wars
the entire collection
the real star wars do not go
excuse me again
the idea is that then
that ‘s the connection that I had there was
helped because a little
in new york I had contact with
artists who did not have contact here and
the contact with his artist told me
wait that one has to do
paintings you necessarily like the
painting the drawing very cool but that’s not
you are so much you are more other thing
and that contact led me to experience
experience experiencing then what
happens with the video is frieze of
interesting that this happened because
when the change from the analogous to the
digital between 2001 and peak started all
is going to change I started working the
first animation with a little camera
highlight
but maybe they’ve never heard of
that’s not a millimeter movie is what
that I wanted to do but I could not
buy it I bought myself a camera
video hair which was a resolution
like who says that you take a cell phone and
take the little screen a third is
in the resolution that you have good the
In fact, I started working with
that proposed digital change when everything
digital change I was not alert of what
what was going on I saw it all very
wonderful and very easy but suddenly
all the data is in the cloud
and in the cloud they are lost they are damaged or disc
hard things like this happen and that
it cost me I began to leave frustrations
eventually what I started doing
was worrying a lot about how I do
that I can have again
what I am doing in a way
real tactile
a ship let’s say so sure not something that
it depends on whether the decorum is damaged and
that kind of thing in this process I have
started
after losing several hard drive and
there is a lot of information there was a moment in
that I stood up said keith I can not with
this I can not embark on another
animation and lose all my work or
have to pay a lot of money to
recover it
I want something that I feel like me
I felt before and what I did was say
good
the best thing you could do is use
movies movie rolls
as in the old days
and in that process I began to investigate me
I realized that I had to dust
everything to reconnect with the
things digital technology
as a photographer
he becomes very responsible because there
many ways of your maintain
[Music]
a good image without you really doing
nothing then go back to photography
analogous made me pick up a little bit more
with what truly identifies
with me I am a little tennis player
will account for the video and in some way
in all this process I started
make my own camera
from wood
just for how to get to a
greater understanding of things of all
this is not necessary obviously you
you can buy an old camera ebay
in 50 dollars
50 dollar theme yoga
from here in the back of the
camera I went in one was not one and
I started using film 120 and this is
like the back where it gets hooked
the roll
here is the camera a little bit more
finished
and here was a first test with a
lens this you see here that they see
here that wood that comes out is the way
to capture the light because here there is no
counter that is not a click
then I would have let it come in and
closed
Tehran the guy left an idea and not
you know but they came out photo just costs
nothing
ok there I’m doing my first
experiment in the colon park in the
favorite place of a lifetime because
has four trees very important for
my
another one we have
in all my research I started
to be interested in what they call pinhole
camera there is a term in Spanish that
it escapes me
but this is that there are no lenses there is a
ojito in the part of the mind you go to
that between light for a certain time
and you capture an image like that and here he did
a kind of trigger
and what will they go in the movie that
I have inside
for me to focus on this I have to remove
the back where the movie is
put this kind of
accordion
and in the original photo you are going to
see how the image that is
back there that is the tree
what’s here was a little bit more
pro and I decided to mount him a lens that
has a counter
so I do not go crazy and this is another
of my processes that is that
again I buy film
and I have to roll it in roll more
little
and suddenly there is a device that I
I made to put my big movie and
roll it to the 25 dollars
etc
but doing it but feels much more
but when you get something out of there
and this is from the images that have come out
thence
this with the camera in hall
you have to calculate the exposure this was
in the park there still determining a
little the focus because the size of the
hole determine focus
well because there’s too much light
these are the trees of the park too
this finger for the one that leaves
this is also interesting because this
image of a curtain
and it looks like a mirror
this position lasted like 18 minutes for
get this picture true what
interesting is that I leave my camera and
You will face this room and I will leave
because I put the stopwatch are 18
minutes when I go back to my dad moved the
camera
that is
Europe is 89 years old and the type has
decided at age 89 to be active in my
artwork
it is everywhere
ok this with the pinhole camera and I do not know
very good either but that image
my ghost there
one of the different positions
and I move in a place I stay fixed
then I move from 7 and it remains as it is
ghost reflection
here all I several times
same
this is movie symptom mind
OK so
for me it is how very important the power
is to reconnect with that I’m going to try to
put another video now if it happens
where I’m doing doubles
positions I’m taking
exposing the movie once
rolling it over again and going back to
expose the case with all this that
would have the experimentation is
precisely to be able to do
animation
film and I left me under that
It lasts 100 years and is not damaged
[Music]
no no no
[Music]
to
[Music]
this was when I was doing that
last animation there what comes back
it’s another invention that says it was riding
a roll to a nikon camera
that has of factory to be able to do it
as if it were a film developing
every time he took a picture and it’s the
animation process that I am
doing precisely
[Music]
but that does not end never gentlemen
ok I’m running out of time because
a lot of time with the repetition of the video
but
definitely
in the van to me or definitely me
I can connect with the things that are
real and for me the thing that are real
are processes last night I was in a
exhibition and an analog old photographer
very good I started attacking that because
I ‘m doing analog photography in
this time that what happens to me
I said the process
why
There is no fun in giving it a click and
that a computer does the thing for you
fun for me to do it
and there’s my connection to what I
I understand that the spiritual with what I
I understand that it is deeper I
I appreciate that you have dedicated a little
of your time to listen and see my what
good day to spend heras
