Tom R. Chambers has created QR code website cards. He likes this idea since this particular style of code is in keeping with Suprematism (Kazimir Malevich's "Black Square") and Geometric Abstraction.
Chambers states, "Kazimir Malevich was ahead of his time ... a 'digital pioneer'. QR codes exude Suprematism not only through their geometric abstraction, but also how they represent/portray the representational world."
MY DEAR MALEVICH (MDM) This homage to Kazimir Malevich is an affirmation of Tom R. Chambers' "Pixelscapes" as Geometric Abstractionist Art and in keeping with Malevich's Suprematism - the feeling of non-objectivity - the creation of a sense of bliss and wonder via abstraction. Chambers' action of looking within a portrait (photo) of Kazimir Malevich to find the basic component(s), pixel(s) is the same action as Malevich looking within himself - inside the objective world - for a pure feeling in creative art to find his "Black Square", "Black Cross" and other Suprematist works. And there's a mathematical parallel between Malevich's primitive square ("Black Square") ... divided into four, then divided into nine ("Black Cross") ... and Chambers' "Pixelscapes" . The pixel is the most basic component of any computer graphic, and it can be represented by 1 bit (a 1 if the pixel is black, or a ...
DSGA Video with Narration https://digsup.my.canva.site/dsga-web https://chambersarts.godaddysites.com/ Tom R. Chambers is a visual artist, and he is currently working with the pixel as Suprematist/Geometric Abstractionist Art ("Pixelscapes") and Kazimir Malevich's "Black Square" ("Black Square Interpretations"). His "My Dear Malevich" project has received international acclaim, and it was shown as a part of the "Suprematism Infinity: Reflections, Interpretations, Explorations" exhibition in conjunction with the "100 Years of Suprematism" conference at the Atrium Gallery, Harriman Institute, Columbia University, New York City (2015). During the early 2000s, Chambers began to look at the pixel within the context of Suprematist/Geometric Abstractionist Art. He equated the pixel with the works of non-objective artists like Wassily Kandinsky, Kazimir Malevich, Josef Albers, Barnett Newman, Mark Rothko, Ad Reinhard...
BSI-8/BLACK SQUARE CROSS REVOLUTION This project is a video/installation piece that contrasts the Suprematist works of Kazimir Malevich with the Russian Revolution of 1917. In 1915, Kazimir Malevich laid down the foundations of Suprematism when he published his manifesto, From Cubism to Suprematism. In 1915/1916 he worked with other Suprematist artists in a peasant/artisan co-operative in Skoptsi and Verbovka village. Malevich exhibited his first "Black Square" at the "Last Futurist Exhibition 0,10" in Petrograd (Saint Petersburg) in 1915. A black square placed against the sun appeared for the first time in the 1913 scenery designs for the Futurist opera, "Victory over the Sun". After the October Revolution (1917), Malevich became a member of the Collegium on the Arts of Narkompros, the Commission for the Protection of Monuments and the Museums Commission (all from 1918/1919). He taught at the Vitebsk Practical Art School in the USSR ...
