The Persistance of Life - Public Sculptures

Featured In The University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, Galveston, TX

$ On Inquiry

The images in the sculpture were captured using various kinds of cameras and microscopes by the artist, the UTMB staff, and the Center for Disease Control. Seale works with a special digital camera of his own invention. Like a microscope or telescope, this camera expands our ability to perceive more about the nature of reality. Capturing a vertical slice of the scene over and over in rapid succession, it swaps the horizontal dimension of the photo for the dimension of time. Instead of mirroring the world as we know it, this camera records a hidden reality. Curated by Skyline Art Services

In 2009, he received the Bernard Lifshutz Award in the Visual Arts from the Artist Foundation of San Antonio and his work is in the permanent collection of the San Antonio Museum of Art, The Harry Ransom Center at The University of Texas, Austin and The Museum of Contemporary Art, Salta, Argentina.

Seale works with a special digital camera of his own invention. This camera has the ability to capture a vertical slice of the scene over and over in rapid succession, in effect, swapping the horizontal dimension of the photo for the dimension of time. Instead of mirroring the world as we know it, this camera records a hidden reality. The apparent “distortions” in the images all happen in-camera as the image is being recorded.
