Painting in Real Time: A Video Installation by Jamie Davidovich

Paintings in Real Time, a conceptually-based, multimedia installation by Argentine-born video pioneer Jamie Davidovich, is comprised of six “video-paintings.” From New York City Battery to locations near Federic Church’s home Olana in upstate New York, the paintings depict the Hudson River Valley and provide a fresh look at the historic landscapes which inspired the Hudson River School over a hundred years ago. In a hybrid layering of painted landscape and projected video, the works are small in scale and intimate in nature. Combining handmade, gestural marks with electronic pulses, these “video paintings” live and breathe in real time as they subtly come to life.
