"Over the past 10 years, I have pursued a little-known genre called slitscan photography. Far from being just a visual curiosity, it has become a substantial tool for the exploration of themes meaningful to me. I have found slitscan photography to be an excellent vehicle for ideas central to my work-- ideas about time and our place in its continuum.

It is important to understand that these images are not manipulated. This is the way my camera sees the world.

Rather than suspending a single moment, my photography examines the passage of time. To accomplish this, I invented a modern digital version of the panoramic camera." -- from Ansen Seale's artist statement:

"My work is an investigation of perception of physical space. It deals with how we doubt an environment and its contents or categorize it as unreal or incomprehensible, but also how we transform that incoherent information to something meaningful." -- Lina Jaros:

"As we try to imagine the decline of Easter [Island]'s civilization, we ask ourselves, "Why didn't they look around, realize what they were doing, and stop before it was too late? What were they thinking when they cut down the last palm tree?"

"poetry is" (Speaking Portraits) [Vol. I--v. 1.4]--

"In his ongoing video art work of “speaking portraits,” poet/artist George Quasha puts an impossible, but unavoidable, question before [61] poets of all kinds and in many places: what is poetry? In response poets let us in on their private space of poetry definition. This intimate view of speaking faces, each filling the screen, shows how different it is for poets/artists to say what poetry or art is than for others (critics, historians, philosophers, viewers). For a particular poet, poetry may not only be an object, a thing historically defined, but something close to the core of one's life, perhaps even a singular event. Here we gain unique access to its nature in the person speaking."
