Daniel Cannogar /// The Exploded Frame.

All artists have their text, which is written and discovered via the creative process and which often leads to utterly surprising and unexpected pathways. Artists don't necessarily select their texts but rather the text seems to take decisions for the artist. Creators are in constant dialogue with their own discourse, sometimes in a rather tormented and at others a more fluid and natural way. It is with this text that artists position themselves within the reality that they are destined to live.

I have frequently used the term low-tech to describe the technologically primary aspect of my work. Basically as a result of economic limitations, I began my artistic career by inventing primitive projection systems built with halogen bulbs, gels and electric cables. Over the years I have incorporated this bricolage of projected images as one of the outstanding characteristics of my work. The low-tech aspect of my work serves as a kind of rearguard to confront the worlds of new technology. I find it frustrating to try and keep up with the vertiginous rhythm of the electronic revolution, so I keep away from the crest of the wave, in order to work from a calmer position, less of a slave to technological innovation.
