Tony Oursler is a well known American artist famous for his works with New Media. Oursler's work is very experimental and innovative working with Video mediums, Tony uses projections not only on uniform objects but he also projects images on to different things such as balls, dolls, and other surfaces like tree tops and steam. This unique style of art is a combination of different elements like spoken txt, moving images, and sculpture. Tony's works are based around the human head focusing on the head as the centre of the human conscious. These themes explore the connections and flow between elements such as light, smoke, thoughts, impulse, language, voice and many more.
The enlightenment is a set if different ideas, values, principles and facts that compliment each other to give a better perspective of both the natural, commercial and social worlds. This is also known as 'paradigma'. A couple of elements may seem different and inconsitent due to intellectual movements attracting many people with different questions that connect through similar ideas. Like the enlightenment, Ourseler works around a combination of different materials, media's and ideas to provide a perspective of the human head being the centre of consciousness.
The concepts of enlightenment apply to Ourselr's work in many ways. The concept of science is mankind evolving and progressing through scientific knowledge and exploring new frontiers with experimental methods, where science is the key element in revolution. Tony has been a pioneer in the art world with his very different and experimental methods of projecting New Media. He has changed the art world with his unique style of video projections. By using combinations of media with his inconsistent ideas of being the first known artist to use projections on non uniform elemtents like steam and tree tops. Tony has made progress in the art world with his experimental and innovative artistic evolution. Individualism also applies to Tony. Individualism is the idea where a single person is the first to confirm new ideas, actions or new ways of doing things. Tony was a pioneer and starting point for this new style of New Media projections. These works also underpin the concept of progress, where progress is the improvement of humans socially and naturally. By exploring the themes and awe, Oursler's works may change the way we perceive life in general and may use the video art as inspiration to better themselves. All concepts lead to the idea of progress and evolution in the art world.
