OT question: Why do you still call him Yamantaka Eye?

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Thursday, 4 May 2006 16:33 (nineteen years ago)

I was going to say more people should have eye do their record covers, but then not that many peoples' music can live up to them.

It's ok, like the internet.

― JW (ex machina), Thursday, 4 May 2006 21:03 (nineteen years ago)

is it this thread's proposition that Y. Eye invented this style as opposed to, say 100 other Artists / Collectivez ? It's believable.

eye insists this has been his aesthetic always. in that it allows him to recreate the world as he prefers to see it...hes pretty open about l u v-ing the old funkadelic covers. he also says that for years he never really understood the difference between say disco and rock and punk iconography..that all of it just seemed jumbled in his head...

i don't think the aesthetic is all that new or novel..but the material he uses and the sort of blind excitement of his stuff is what makes it interesting

― bb (bbrz), Friday, 5 May 2006 12:58 (nineteen years ago)

Big distinction between the turds in Black Dice and Ey3 is that his artwork is almost always culturally referential and there stuff rarely is in the same ways.

― JW (ex machina), Friday, 5 May 2006 13:19 (nineteen years ago)

i think, though jon, that ey3 would say he he does not intend the cultural references in a direct way. actually, no..he means them in a very direct way. the reference is almost imediate and very limited. i think the audience finds more in those references than he does. he basically explains the inclusion of referential bits with "i think theyre cool and exciting".

i need to be careful and should point out that all these "ey3 says" statements are based on a conversation with him that was paraphrased back and forth by someone who wasn't technically a translator...so my paraphrasing is definately limited and entirely secondary. i am in no way speaking for him or quoting directly

― bb (bbrz), Friday, 5 May 2006 13:25 (nineteen years ago)

McLuhan would say eYe's art is "primitive", ie follows no linear progression, makes use of all senses at once, is based more on the aural sense than the visual one (ie, not based on logicall arranged bits, but on sensing the "acoustical space") - and that this is not only not unique to eYe, but not unique to traditional Asian art in general

― Dominique (dleone), Friday, 5 May 2006 13:32 (nineteen years ago)

I like EYE's marker work better than the collage stuff.

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Friday, 5 May 2006 13:34 (nineteen years ago)

I liked his versions of album covers at the last NYC GATAX show.

― JW (ex machina), Friday, 5 May 2006 13:36 (nineteen years ago)

yeah, the marker stuff is great. a lot of that is used in collages later...

i was into that big super collage at the last installation..the fabric, album covers, and assorted ephemera. which gets us to dominques point. in that piece especially you get both the japanese/asian tradion of multiple points along a linear progression or narative presented in a single still/frame. i think the macluhan point is fair, but limited by uncle marshal's own "orientalism", for lack of a better word. in talking about his working methods, ey3 did "talk" about visual space. he used the word see, but it was also clear that he considered senses as a whole...he doesnt seem to limit the processing of input or ideas to a single sense or a single medium. in that sense, yes his work is working in what macluhan calls a "cool" media, one that allows space for impulses from various senses. (radio: cool medium vs t.v.: hot medium -- leaveslittle room for audience involvement, more complete)

i asked ey3 about his appropriation of album covers and if he thought about that in terms of detournment or plundering, etc. he said no. he said mainly that he fetishizes the format and some of the imagry of album covers and records...his reworking of them is simply an expression of his perspective of the world. he said he likes thinking of the world via an album cover...then plays the game where he imagines what the record would sound like.

― bb (bbrz), Friday, 5 May 2006 14:01 (nineteen years ago)

actually, I think he said tv was cool and movies were hott

― Dominique (dleone), Friday, 5 May 2006 14:13 (nineteen years ago)

yeah, i think yr right...movies, radio, print hot. single source...follow the line...(though i do think film/radio gets a bit tricky if you consider the options..either medium could easly be used in a cool way)

its been a while...
