Blog 6: Jason Salavon

Jason Salavon is an American contemporary artist. He uses computer that he has designed to manipulate and reconfigure preexisting media and data to create new visual works of fine art. He generates and reconfigures masses of communal material in an effort to present new perspectives on the familiar. His projects attempt to unearth unexpected patterns while exploring the relationship between the part and the whole or the individual and the group.

They’re so similar but content wise so different where the differences between good and evil are so slight. Also the compilations he makes are so specific and complex. I enjoy the intent behind it, especially this concept of good vs. evil in this work.
