Thankyou Jordan Baseman.... and Picasso

At a recent talk hosted by Jordan Baseman he was talking about how his editing of real footage gave him the ability to lie by tweaking the truth. Somebody in the audience asked why it was important to do this. He answered by saying because this is art, art is atifice, art is artificial.............

it seems so obvious a link but it was a link i had never consciously made, it also allowed me to make sense of what i am actually doing with my work, tweaking the real to present an altered perception of it.

"An artist lies to find a new kind of truth" Pablo Picasso
