SCRUTINY
IN THE GREAT ROUND
ScruTiny
in the Great Round is a lyrical work on CD-ROM based on the collaged
imagery in the limited edition art book by Tennessee Dixon. The work
consists of two parallel series of twelve two-dimensional tableaux,
each stage of life presented according to both male and female principles
Each interactive scene is a painted and animated landscape embedded
with symbols, artifacts, poetry and sounds from cultures and religions
around the world. With a dream-like sensibility the story follows the
encounters of a man and woman, each portrayed in various guises and
transformations, enduring the dramas of sex, marriage, birth and the
mystery between the body and spirit.
"I
found myself erupting into goosebumps. While any great painting or song
or story can bypass the brain and produce such personal, emotional,
even transforming reactions, I find it remarkable that the creators
have managed to do so using the puny, primitive and largely unaccomplished
CD-ROM. It's as if Gutenberg, a couple years into the printing trade,
suddenly managed to crank out a copy of "The Wasteland."--Craig
Stoltz, Washington Post
ScruTiny
in the Great Round the illustrated book was made in an edition of 22
books published by Granary Books '93. The pages are handworked washed
and treated richly detailed prints each with collaged and painted elements.
The book is 8x10 inches, hard cover, accordion fold, bound by Wide Awake
Garage.
