Cassandra C. Jones
Cassandra C. Jones, Lightning Drawing 1, 2009I'm loving Cassandra C. Jones's artwork. The internet is spurring a lot of artists (myself included) to create works that draw on its vast repository of images. Jones's work, however, really stands out. I particularly like her Eventide (2004) which is a sunset patched together from 1,391 found photos.
I'd like the work even if it was built of out images pulled from a "sunset" search on Flickr.com... but it's even nicer that the images were collected from "friends, family, colleagues, acquaintances, strangers, image banks, photo exchanges, thrift stores, libraries, private collections, want adds, eBay and the public domain archives of the US Army, NOAA and NASA."
The YouTube video comes from an interview with BoingBoing's Xeni Jardin and is synced to jump to the Eventide excerpt.

Hello Ethan
thanks for leaving comment at my blog
I think you've got very good networks and posts, cool
I personally think this piece (Lightning drawing) is quite cute.
maybe I should look up Eventide as well.
AHH. I just watched it. It's similar logic. It's quite interesting to see this as I'm also working with internet images but the direction is quite different.
