6. Jim Kazanjian






About Jim:
Jim Kazanjian has a BFA from Kansas City Art Institute and an MFA from the Art Center College of Design. For sixteen years now he has worked as a commercial CGI artist for television, fashion and computer clients including Nike, Adidas, NBC, CBS, HBO, NASA, HP and Intel, and in 2001 was appointed art director of computer game developer Logic Factory.

Jim on his work:
I am interested in a kind of ‘entropic’ image—an image that has the capacity to de-familiarize itself. My current work is an attempt to unravel the photograph and play with established notions of time and space, notwithstanding our understanding of what gives things context. Through fragmentation and re-composition of the photographic space, the non-linear nature of reading the image is folded in on itself. The structure of the photograph is unwound and reshuffled. This reshaping is an iterative process that spurs a generation of something altogether different; something ineffable.
