Aesthetics of Dust II: Skateboard Video Art

Topheadz, War Paint

A while back I wrote a blog on Aesthetics of Dust, inspired by the works of Filippo Minelli and Ujin Lee + Tom Edwards. Both projects played with the means of dust floating in mid-air. The short existence of a dust cloud captured in a series of photographs. The artist(s) purposefully played with the means of dust, one (Minelli’s Silence/Shapes) introducing brightly color bombs in nature, the other (Lee+Edwards I Came Across Dust) featuring a white smoky substance in empty urban landscapes. The way both projects have been documented suggest that they just happen to find the authentic moment in the world. This silent creature coming into existence for a mere moment before it becomes part of the invisible atmosphere again.

"Moreover, I do not think it can be denied that an element of reverie, of approach to a state of dream, enters into the creation of a work of art, nor that the experience of the work when it is intense often throws one into a similar state. Indeed, it is safe to say that ‘creative’ conceptions in philosophy and science come only to persons who are relaxed to the point of reverie."
