Transcript: Andy Rolfes BUT WHAT DOES THIS MEAN!??!? well... to be continued... 50" x 40" 50" x 40" I have grown up with half of my life online. With such a personal perspective of the physical and virtual worlds, I investigate how these two worlds interact with and reflect each other. I often use the interaction between groups of people with some form of technology involved to analyze the complex social situations created. 50" x 40" Let's go for something shorter... Artist Statement Keeping Up the Conversation andyrolfes@hotmail.com andyrolfes.wordpress.com 50" x 40" A World of My Own blah blah blah... 50" x 40" On a daily basis, I realize how much I’m obsessed by other people. I actually often entertain the idea that I’m not normal because of how interested I am in how people interact with each other. This kind of investigation started young while I dove into the weird world that is online forums, where I could read and reread conversations that were most likely perverted or disturbing to some degree. In a strange twist of fate, though, I learned to break out of my self-imposed shell by interacting online. From this, I can easily say digital interaction was foundational to my growth as a modern person. It was that sense of social interaction was what stayed with me in my social development. In the rare time I get to relax, I like to observe communication, or the lack thereof, and how the many methods of interaction influence social situations. If someone states something to a friend, how does that influence the friend? When the speaker is conscious of their actions affecting others, how does that impact their actions? And when you throw digital connectivity into the mix, how do virtual communications influence physical interaction? These complex social interactions between groups of people and their virtual connections dutifully inform my watercolor paintings.
