A review of David Hockney’s art in Technology Review in an article The Mind’s Eye by Martin Gayford.

It talks about a project by Hockney called May 12th 2011 Rudston to Kilham Road 5 PM (2011), where the artist employed technology in an interesting way to create “moving collage” that extends our understanding of everyday experience of the world.

 

Long preoccupied with technology, David Hockney is exploring a new artistic medium that uses high-definition cameras, screens, software, and moving images to capture the experience of seeing.

All Hockney’s work and thought is dedicated to the proposition that there is always more to see in the world around us. Art is a way—you might say a set of technologies—for making images, preserving them in time, and also for showing us things we aren’t normally aware of.
