EARTH ART REVISITED : MEXICO'S NEW MEDIA
Mexican art conglomerate SIGNA deliver a 21st Century approach to an age
old tradition mixing art with nature and spirituality....and now digital
technology, it is composed of stunning, large format, dramatic
photography while boasting unusual sculpture, video, music, and CD Rom.
The project itself is concerned with "lines of energy" and "centres of
spiritual power" often based on the pre-colombian ideals which hold fast
in Mexico's parted past. Invariably, the places hold an aesthetic
beauty, but perhaps more importantly they hold a presence to a
historical core which the project wishes to expose through the use of
new technologies. Once a "Centre" has been found, the artists construct
sculptures within the found parameters and then document the creation
through photography and video.
