Photo taken looking SW out  to sea at 12.00 noon GMT on Midsummers Day and posted online here shortly thereafter;
mid day on 21st June being the precise point in the year when the earth reaches it’s seasonal maximum tilt towards the sun
( summer solstice, longest day ) ..and inexorably begins its reverse movement back again towards the winter solstice – its maximum tilt away from the sun and giving the shortest day in the northern hemisphere.
( All downhill til Christmas, as they say )

Counterpart to Work 566 from 21/ 12 / 2011; The Shortest Day

The Two works to be offered as a unique diptych of 20 signed edition Lightjet prints.

ABOUT London Dada

Dada over London

THE SEVEN TENETS OF LONDON DADA
Represented by six bright green spots with one central ( unifying One-Ness ) spot

By Michael St.Mark ( based on the founding group of Dadaists’ collective vision )

1. Radical art innovations
2. New art inventions / concepts
3. Morally-motivated art protest and fearless critical analysis of contemporary art
4. Perceptive societal and political commentary expressed through art.
5. Serendipity / chance or random art expressions
6. Humour ( dry, whimsical or sardonic )
7. Multimedia expressions of the One-ness of life. ( central green spot )

( The 7 tenets are ever present, often in various combinations within Dada Works )

” The Dadaist is convinced of the overall connection between all entities and beings ” – Hugo Ball, father of Dada

” Dada is essentially the search for a new morality ” – Richard Heulsenbeck, Dada’s co-founder

_____________________________________________________________________
x100 2″ sq mirrors arranged on a back panel to form a 20″ sq mirror, each square being infinitely adjustable via a universal joint on its reverse centre point of adhesion to the panel so as the whole mirror produces an infinite variety and juxtaposition of its 100 individual physical pixel reflections according to each of its component pixels’ (mirrored squares’) manually-depressed angle of any of its 4 outside edges or corners through the horizontal plane, giving a playful hide and seek-like experience.

Multifarious reflections limited edition prints to follow

Update; 03 / 2016, the following year from release of the Dada Digital Mirror….

atacartgif2

Self portrait / Hidden pulse, gif by Atacart ( 2016 ), that he keeps as a retweet & follower-accumulating pinned headline lead-in image on his Twitter timeline. A direct copy of Infinitude III; The Digital Mirror by Michael St.Mark, made up into a simple gif by randomly moving some of the mirrored squares – as is exactly the function of Digital Mirror – and re-photographing it.
( * Still there as of January 2018 – presumably Mr Atacart finds it difficult to come up with a better creation of his own in 2 years to attract traffic and followers on his Twitter feed )

  • Update May/June 2017 this gets noticed. Not so flattered when so-called designers like Nick Munro start making money out of someone else’s concept and artwork.. Six weeks only after the above post date stamp for Infinitude III, the Digital Mirror, Munro’s  identikit ” Hide and Seek mirror”  is out of production and on sale at John Lewis.. now at £190

” It turns a mirror into an artwork”
Oh really, Nick?
You terrible dishonest self-serving fraud.
