An exhibition by Stephen Trutwin , an Adelaide Hills photographer.
Stephen travelled to Jerusalem and the occupied territory of the West Bank in the first week of October last year, departing Tel Aviv the afternoon before Hamas attacked Israel. Inspired by recent events, this is an exhibition of photographs taken in the region at a time of relative peace, but with a brutal war imminent.
Having been through the birth of digital imaging and the now ubiquitous internet, the proliferation of Artificial Intelligence in many software programs I use, like Adobe Photoshop, Topaz, Grammarly, and Chrome, amazes me. One of my favourite AI imaging platforms is Midjourney, a text-to-picture artificial intelligence (AI) service developed by an independent research lab of the same name. This is my first experience using a technique called “Face Swap”
In the hope of somehow unfettering myself of bits and pieces of art, photos, papers, toys and the general bric-a-brac of life I’ve collected over the years. I’ve been trying to clear out an old storage space I’ve been renting. The problem is I keep encountering things that remind me of the past and that I must stop to consider and ruminate on.
One such item is an old article from a 1985 Scanlines Journal published by the Broadcast Designers Association in America. I was on my way back from London to San Francisco after attending a development meeting to discuss new features for the Quantel Paint Box. Hard to believe this was 37 years ago!
