Ansen Seale, "Vortex No. 4", acrylic , 2016

size: 24" diameter

For the past 44 years, San Antonio artist Ansen Seale has been experimenting with innovative photographic and technological techniques. The most innovative and engaging work involves Ansen' invention, the Digital Slitscan Camera. Ansen describes his invention: "My camera exchanges the horizontal spatial dimension of X with the dimension of Time. This is done by imaging only a vertical line of pixels over and over again, up to 500 times per second. The internal processor of the camera arranges these pixel columns side by side, building up the horizontal dimension of the picture plane over time. My images are time exposures in one dimension and snapshots in the other. Only moving or changing objects register clearly. Unmoving objects are rendered only as lines across the picture plane. This is the opposite of what you would expect with traditional photography where moving objects are blurred and still objects are clear." His work can be found in businesses, private collections and museums all over San Antonio.
