compressionism | performative printmaking, performance-based scanner art, digital and traditional prints Compressionism is a digital performance and analog archive, where artist Nathaniel Stern straps a desktop scanner and battery pack to his body, and performs images into existence. He might scan in straight, long lines across tables, tie the scanner around his neck and swing over flowers, do pogo-like gestures over bricks, or just follow the wind over water lilies in a pond. The dynamism of his relationship to the landscape is transformed into beautiful and quirky renderings, which are then produced as archival art objects using contemporary and/or traditional processes.
