"Flip the Script on Plastics Pollution_Exposing Greenwashing "Made to be ReMade"" 2024 by [dNASAb]
* New Video Drop: Exposing Greenwashing by American Beverage Company! #wip
Check out [dNASAb]'s latest video remix that ad-busts a misleading commercial from the American Plastic Makers. These plastic making companies use greenwashing to appear eco-friendly, but their practices tell a different story. Let's break it down:
* Misleading Claims: Highlighting minor eco-friendly initiatives while their overall practices remain harmful. They might promote recyclable materials, but the actual recycling rates for their products are shockingly low.
* Selective Disclosure: Touting reductions in harmful chemicals while ignoring the massive plastic waste they generate.
* False Labels and Certifications: Using vague or self-created "green" labels that give the illusion of sustainability without real action.
* Advertising Campaigns: Launching extensive campaigns to promote minor green initiatives, overshadowing their ongoing environmental damage.
* Green Products: Introducing "eco-friendly" products while still profiting from conventional, harmful products. It's a way to appeal to conscious consumers without making real changes.
* Downplaying Impact: Focusing on small improvements or comparing themselves favorably against worse offenders to downplay their environmental impact.
These greenwashing techniques create a facade of environmental responsibility, misleading consumers and delaying genuine sustainable practices.
* Dive into the deception and see how these tactics undermine real efforts to tackle plastic pollution. Together, we can demand true sustainability!

"Augmented Reality_TVBuddha" remix of Nam June Paik's 1974 "TVBuddha" and The BASS Museum exhibition "Nam June Paik:The Miami Years"" by [dNASAb] 2023
"Augmented Reality TV Buddha"/"AR.TV Buddha" remix by [dNASAb]
"A series of interactive, geospatial, location-based, Augmented Reality sculptures_ an innovative collaborative remix of Nam June Paik's 1974 "TVBuddha" and The BASS Museum exhibition "Nam June Paik:The Miami Years""
In the "AR_TVBuddha" by [dNASAb](2023), the iconic TV Buddha undergoes a transformative evolution,grappling with the contemporary paradox of enlightenment mediated through technology. The central question arises: Can true enlightenment be achieved with a screen as an intermediary, considering the pervasive presence of screens in our lives? This inquiry delves into the essence of self-awareness, as individuals navigate their existence through technological devices, pondering whether self-understanding is found in the reflections captured by selfies.
Rejecting passivity, the "AR_TVBuddha" rebels against motionless consumption. Extruding into a 4th dimension, it becomes a dynamic product of technological evolution, liberated from specified scales and immobility. This incarnation embraces a duplicitous, kinetic nature, even posing for selfies with viewers, morphing into a media star in an alternative format.
True to Fluxus principles, the "AR_TVBuddha" aims for mass accessibility, blurring the boundaries between art and life. Departing from the museum's protective aura, it immerses itself in the vibrant tapestry of contemporary life, resonating with a diverse audience. This evolution ensures the Buddha's perpetual existence, living on in the digital archives of myriad technological devices, embodying a harmonious fusion of spirituality and technology in the ever-evolving landscape of art.

Augmented Visions: Exploring the Intersection of Technology and Humanity in Contemporary Photography by [dNASAb]
“Faux Ecologies + Artificial Reefs of the Metaverse_Obscene Plasticene Daydream_ #7a ” 2023 Photograph.Glossy pigment print mounted on aluminum with UV plexiglass 31"H (x) 42" W
My artistic journey in contemporary photography is fueled by a profound fascination with the evolving ways in which we perceive and experience the world. In our rapidly advancing technological era, where the boundaries between the tangible and the virtual continue to blur, I am captivated by the immense potential to augment our understanding and interaction with reality. Through my art, I aim to capture and comment on the pivotal nature of human existence and our profound interconnection with technology.
Central to my creative process is the concept of augmentation. I have always sought to transcend traditional photography by integrating various elements and techniques to augment the visual narratives I wish to convey. Instead of relying solely on capturing the visible world, I construct temporary models and room-sized sets that serve as the stage for my photographic compositions. These meticulously crafted environments combine illuminated sculptures, upcycled materials from my waste stream, complex lighting arrangements, natural elements, and often carefully arranged flora, reminiscent of Ikebana, transforming the scenes into multidimensional works of art.
In my work, I explore the concept of "augmentation" by infusing the physical space with elements that enhance the narrative and challenge traditional perspectives. I utilize "Neural Radial Field" scans to create 3D digital models of the temporary installations, and then employ "Augmented Reality" to juxtapose these virtual models with the physical sets. This fusion of the real and the virtual adds layers of complexity and opens up new possibilities for storytelling. By blurring the boundaries between the tangible and the virtual, I aim to prompt viewers to question their own perceptions and engage in a deeper exploration of the interplay between technology and humanity.
To further enhance the impact of my imagery, I employ a diverse range of lighting techniques, incorporating motion, atmospheric effects, reflections, mist, fog, running water, and even explosives. These experimental approaches allow me to create images that serve as visual references to the pivotal moments in the history of technological and human progress. I seek to document and visualize significant shifts in culture and advancements, highlighting the explosive changes that augment our future lives.
In an era where artificial intelligence (AI) has captivated the artistic sphere, my latest body of work challenges the perception of "generated" imagery. While the digital realm is often associated with AI-created art, I intentionally blur the boundaries by presenting photographs that appear to be AI-generated but are, in fact, physical models and illuminated sculptures crafted from reclaimed materials. Through the use of complex lighting systems, I encapsulate time and space within these physical constructs, creating a sense of mystery and wonder that invites viewers to question the boundaries of reality.
The process begins by constructing temporary sculptures using translucent and colored plastics, reflective metals, mirrors, and glass. These materials are embedded with LEDs and fiber optics, adding an ethereal quality to the scenes. In complete darkness, I photograph the compositions using long exposures. As the shutter remains open, I become a performer, physically hand-lighting the sculptural set and manipulating the LEDs, atmospheric effects, and video projections to shape the final image. Each photograph represents a singular moment captured through the lens, an intimate encounter between the physical and the ephemeral.
Through my visionary photographs, I aspire to create new mysteries that invite contemplation and introspection. Drawing inspiration from the realms of fiction, abstraction, technology, psychedelia, and temporary sculptural spaces, I aim to provoke dialogue about the complex relationship between humanity and the augmented world we inhabit. In this ongoing exploration, my work serves as a visual portal, inviting viewers to reimagine the possibilities that lie at the intersection of technology and the human experience.
