Midtown Market -- energy
energy. the idea of energy. when i think of energy, many things pop into my head -- movement, interaction, color.
"energy can never be created or destroyed, it simply changes from one form to another"
these two electronic paintings are by a lecturer doctor at The Faculty of Computer Science, "A.I.Cuza" University of Iasi, Romania -- Sabin-Corneliu Buraga.
"(starting) streams of energy"
"(ending) streams of energy"
instead of defining energy in terms of words, i like to think of energy like this.
these electronic paintings, i feel, can easily represent the energy that flows throughout the midtown market.
both pictures have the same 'base'/subject matter :: the 'base' of the midtown market never changes throughout the typical day - the same building, booths, vendors, etc.
"(starting) streams of energy" :: represents the begining of this typical day - calm. there is still little movement in certain areas, potential movement in others, and they are all somehow interacting between eachother.
"(ending) streams of energy" :: represents the busy time frame of this typical day - full of activity, hectic, vibrant. the areas of potential energy are more animated and lively, there is a feeling of increased interaction and connection between different areas - vendor to customer, customer to customer, vendor to vendor.
the energy exchange from people to people is very evident in the market, you are able to easily see where energy is exchanged - the buying and selling of goods, the physical and verbal interactions - even from the people like myself who walk around the market just to look, to observe, and not buy a single item.
