Julie Monaco

Julie has been working on the content-related focus of digital image generation by means of fractal structures/surfaces (renderings) in dialogue with analog elements since 2001. The concentration is on the exploration of fractal rendering possibilities with software suitable for this purpose. The works are artificial, digitally created images that are not a reflection of a found "real"; their basis is numerical codes.
The result is achieved by a previously concretely determined calculation option...
The interplay of computer-generated signs and hand-created drawing gestures, as well as the respective medial translation into materiality, of silver gelatin photography or C-prints, more recently also inkjet prints, are the interface of her work.
The images that emerge from this process are produced in different print techniques, depending on the series. From the simple C-Print to the complex analog Silver Gelatin Prints which are developed and toned by hand.

In the last series, for the first time the purely computer generated images, which served as a template for themselves, were extended by an element: a chemical process / copper sulfates.
The post-processing of the negatives / repros of the computer-generated image are processed in the laboratory and subjected to chemical processes.
The focus of her artistic research is to combine the analog elements with digital
digital.
The INSTAX FILM medium adds new possibilities to her field of work.
Her starting point is the computer generated image. This is transferred to another level of abstraction by combining the computer and camera obsura (as well as photo lens). This creates another creative space by combining several levels.
The picture is "taken" with an INSTAX FILM COLOR/MONOCHROME from the computer with a CAMERA OBSURA built for it as well as further converted cameras.
The INSTAX material in its texture adds its expression.
The gravure series "MMXXI" was also created from this working method.

This way of working also resulted in the gravure series "MMXXI" as well as the current FEMALEART EDITION: FE_02_#09 from 2022!
