Altered States of Reality: an Exhibition of Analog and Digital Fine Art Photography
October 27 - November 17, 2009 Reception: Thursday October 29, 2009 6-8 PM

Press Release

Lil Dafonte is a Renaissance man reincarnate. Like Da Vinci and Arcimboldo, two 16th century artists who joined technological innovations to art making, Dafonte is committed to marrying new scientific discoveries to his creative endeavors. He sees beauty, ethics and intelligence as equally integral to the human experience and his images seamlessly merge these three elements. Working in a style he terms Fractal Neosurrealism, Dafonte consistently acknowledges his scientific and artistic historical roots while also asserting his work’s contemporary relevance. Digital imagery and multiple portals of information have come to dominate our daily interactions with the world. Dafonte’s portraits delve into how this new phenomenon shapes our unconscious lives.

 

Layered with complex patterns and abstract imagery, Dafonte’s portraits are mysterious despite their technical sleekness. He uses digital mediums like painters use paint to imitate the fluidity of the natural world. Dafonte studied Economics, Music and Graphic Arts at The Universidad de Santiago de Compostela. He has also extensively explored Organic Surrealism, Scientist Cubism and Fractal Dimension. He lives and works in Spain.


Artist Statement

Concepts:

1) LAW OF SIMILARITY

If the number of laws governing a system is less than the number of categories in which you can classify the elements of the system and that the number of elements that form, we can say that the system will evolve based on areas of similarity .

 

2)                                      PROPORTIONAL UNIVERSE

Because the law of similarity can say that the universe is proportional, meaning the ratio as a nonlinear dependence of equivalence.

 

 

 

 

 3 º)                                         FRACTALITY ( I Think)

 The fractality understood as a finite but infinitely fractured dimension is proportional due to the law of Similarity. There exist more fractures that it possible form of being fractured. It is a clear not linear dependence of equivalence.

 

 

 

4 º)                                        NEOSURREALISM

Any action produced by a human being is a direct consequence of a set of automatic processes

 

5 º)                       VECTORIAL    COMPLEX   INTERPOLATION  (I Think)

Technical definition: Having n points an initial configuration is created. To with that the brain leaned on title and the memories it establishes a not linear path, with sense, direction and intensity until m constructs points that form the final situation B.

In the situation B a meaning is established. The situation B is a sector of similarity to the established meaning. In other words, the brain establishes as a face everything what looks like a face. The emotion is previous to the meaning but the meaning modulates the emotion and the posterior feeling.

 

6 º)                             FRACTAL    NEOSURREALISM

 It consists of the automatic reconstruction of a knowledge due to a proportionality. It is not a skill, it is the consequence of a conception of the Universe.

One of the characteristics of the Cubism was to construct in the same plane and figure it two seen different. The fractal neosurrealism makes two superput dimensions evident. The interaction between(among) both is more importantly than the contained elements. It is a nonlinear style of painting and  feedback loops in. The titles of the works are generic for not condition  the process 5º). As painter I ask what form it has the Universe, but I am convinced that it is a proportionate figure.

 

 

                                                     LEY DE SEMEJANZA

 

 1º)

Si el número de leyes que rigen un sistema es menor que el número de categorías en las que se puede clasificar los elementos del sistema y que el propio número de elementos que lo forman, se puede afirmar que el sistema evolucionará en base a sectores de Semejanza.

 

 

2º)                                                 UNIVERSO PROPORCIONAL

 

Debido a la ley de Semejanza podemos afirmar que el Universo es Proporcional, entendiendo la proporción como una dependencia no lineal de equivalencia.

 

3º)                                                  FRACTALIDAD

 

La fractalidad entendida como una dimensión finita pero infinitamente fracturada es proporcional debido a la ley de Semejanza. Existen más fracturas que formas posibles de ser fracturado. Es una clara dependencia no lineal de equivalencia.

 

4º)                                                 NEOSURREALISMO

 

Toda acción producida por un ser humano es consecuencia directa de un  conjunto de procesos automáticos.

 

5º)                                INTERPOLACIÓN VECTORIAL COMPLEJA

 

Definición Técnica: Dados n puntos se crea una configuración inicial A con la que el cerebro apoyado en título y las memorias establece una trayectoria no lineal, con sentido, dirección e intensidad hasta construir m puntos que configuran la situación final B. En la situación B se establece un significado.  La situación B es un sector de semejanza al significado establecido. En otras palabras, el cerebro establece como una cara todo lo que se parezca a una cara. La emoción es anterior al significado pero el significado modula la emoción y el posterior sentimiento

 

6º)                                   NEOSURREALISMO FRACTAL

 

Consiste en la reconstrucción automática de un conocimiento debido a una proporcionalidad. No es una habilidad, es la consecuencia de una concepción del Universo. Una de las características del Cubismo era construir en el mismo plano y figura dos vistas distintas. El neosurrealismo fractal hace evidente dos dimensiones superpuestas. La interacción entre ambas es más importante que los elementos contenidos. Es un estilo de pintura no lineal y retroalimentado en bucles. Los títulos de las obras son genéricos para no condicionar el proceso 5º). Me inquieta saber qué forma tiene el Universo, pero estoy convencido de que es una figura proporcional.
