Art With Apple: Reinventing Classic Art

My good friend, Tasso, has geniusly recreated the classic art piece, ‘The Son of Man’, which you may recognize below: 

Artist: René Magritte

This time, he’s used the iPhone, replacing the ‘Apple’ in a modern twist. 

Cached is an original piece in an ongoing untitled series about technology and the effects it has on interpersonal connections. This work is an homage to the french artist Rene Magritte’s very well known “Son of Man,” the title alluding to a term used to describe a type of temporary memory used in technology today

Tasso creates all his artwork by using photographs, usually taken by himself, with heavy emphasis on high contrast. Using a combination of Photoshop and Illustrator, he isolates and vectorizes only a handfull of layers to create his signature minimalist look.

About Tasso

Best known for his contribution to the NuMedia Art Movement by using photography and vector-based programs, Tasso is a philosopher at heart who creates discussion pieces with philosophical ideas embedded in both his fine art pieces and his commercial designs. His unique skills in blending art with technology continues throughout many mediums, which has awarded him a strong reputation in many creative and marketing arenas.

Currently, he is in the process of completing his newest series “&ND” which is scheduled for release in the winter of 2012 at an undisclosed location in Los Angeles, CA. The opening art exhibit will be an installation of 15 original pieces which, as Tasso describes, is “about everything.” He has remained tight lipped about the series but what he has mentioned is that it is heavily influenced by the lectures of Alan Watts, a well known philosopher who is widely considered to have been one of the heaviest influences of Eastern Philosophy in the West.

The Apple Camera: Apple Quicktake 200

Apple should come out with a camera you say? Well they have. For those of you that don’t remember, here’s the Quicktake 200

The Apple QuickTake (codenamed Venus, Mars, Neptune) is one of the first consumer digital camera lines.^[1] It was launched in 1994 by Apple Computer and was marketed for three years before being discontinued in 1997. Three models of the product were built including the 100 and 150, both built by Kodak; and the 200, built by Fujifilm. The QuickTake cameras had a resolution of 640 x 480 pixels maximum (0.3 Mpx). The 100 and 200 models are only officially compatible with the Apple Macintosh, while the 150 model is compatible with both the Apple Macintosh and Microsoft Windows. Because the QuickTake 200 is almost identical to the Fuji DS-7 or to Samsung’s Kenox SSC-350N, Fuji’s software for that camera can be used to gain Windows compatibility for the QuickTake 200. Some other software replacements also exist.

Time Magazine profiled QuickTake as ‘the first consumer digital camera’ and ranked it among its ’100 greatest and most influential gadgets from 1923 to the present’ list.^[2]
