Artist Statement:
If writing computer programs that can generate for finality, subtle patterns and shapes in wide spectrum of colors, then programming can be considered the process of creating art.
If using mathematical concepts of ideas and definitions to describe the specifics of a set of values named pixels, and present those values within forms and dimensions that are new to our human vision, then mathematics is an art.
If being able to merge both of these techniques above into one functional set of tools that allows for explorations of an infinity of spaces and dimensions in any angle, then the resulting graphical expressions can be considered as art.
It is art to do something well, in a unique fashion and delivers it in such a way so that others can share and experience the beauty of the infinity where hidden spaces and dimensions are repositories to the transposed objects made visible for us. Using computers in the creation of art is not different from using pencils, brushes or hammer. It is simply a tool that transposes my feelings and intellectual concepts into visible and tangible objects.
That the resulting objects, from the processes that I control, ends up being printed onto photo paper as a traditional photograph is justified by the fact that the processes that I have modeled and programmed during the past decade drive toward translating into a photographic state, such a finality correspond to having traveled to those places and spaces and having taken some photos that I bring back as a reporter.
Art will be found in all aspects of my projects, but it will be functional in the resulting printed images that will carry over time the witness of my presence somewhere in the infinity where numbers and digital images are crossing.
Works that are shown on http://www.ybdigitals.com web site as well as on locations in art galleries and private collections are milestones in my quest of new dimensions, spaces and places, where light is not what we know of, where gravity is pulling in other ways, where perspective is negative and time is driving colors to their maturity.
In many aspects, my work is a blind process where I delegate to a computer the care of the numbers I have provided. These numbers are signs that my programs understand and translate them into actions of many types. Sometimes it is a simple iteration of increments that allow for searching a matching values extracted from a pattern, other times, it will be a complex labyrinth where the origins of the path is lost forever before the result can be reached.
The art, my art, is to be able to bring you, visitor, spectator, interested passing bystanders, all the colors, in all the shapes, in all the frequencies that can exists and translate them in an agreeable vision that can last forever.

Bellagio
2001 3D projection of a photo from the Bellagio hotel in Las Vegas. 27cm x 13cm |
|
I took the photo from where the lake is now. I then did project the photo onto a 3D space and generated a 2D back from the projection. The Bellagion did use the photo for a postcard a while... |
Path to infinity
2007 8 digital photos stitched together and printed on semi gloss photo paper 250 mil 92 cm x 26 cm |

The fog was heavy and from the end of the jetty I could not see the beach. I took the photos in portrait mode and did stitch them using my proprietary program.
fRamed and matted |

| 教育程度与个人自传 |
Yves Bodson, born in West Africa from a French mother and a British father, raised in Belgium started his professional life as an economist. His profession made him travel intensively in Middle East and West African countries but always he had with him a camera still image with which he took a rich collection of documents some historic. In the late 1990's, he engaged in writing programs that would become a stitching engine with extended capabilities such as matrix stitching, global and local optical adjustment etc. Building on that experience, Yves, over the years, did increase the capabilities of his software up to a point where he is able to generate very large images in photo resolution of realistic and abstract compositions seamlessly merged together.
Yves recently presented for the first time to the public his most recent results in the quest of dimensions and spaces that he snapshot to bring back a photographic vision from these unique ‘locations’. For the future, Yves’ vision is to expand his exploration into mathematical spaces and bring us back visual witnessing of unique original spaces and dimensions that only his art can reach and immobilize forever into a traditional photography.
2009, Yves Bodson has returned to Europe to expand his photographic exploration of space toward hyper photography. However, in opposition with the current trend, Yves is working in micro details by merging micro photographies into one very large visual spaces.
Some downsized examples have just been placed on this gallery.
