During Jordan Tate's artist lecture, he
talked a lot about some of the main ideas that inspire his artwork.
Many of his works involve conceptual ideas revolving around the idea
of space and time, or limitations and capability of material.
For instance, in one of the sections
of his piece, “Gambit Warning” Tate chose to represent the number
code for the color Yves Klein blue, a color which shows up on a
computer screen, but cannot be transported to paper. Since the color
cannot be literally represented, the piece then demonstrates this
loss while talking about the capability of material.
Jordan Tate also talked a lot about
the notion of infinity, and how we as humans need to place limits on
things in order to actually understand them. He was very enthusiastic
about the idea that since there is a possible infinite amount of
space, there is therefore an infinite percentage of a chance that
there is an alternate universe somewhere nearly identical to our own.
He is currently working on a piece that relates to the idea of
'infinity' by trying to recreate a work that is like a black hole.
That is, using something blacker then black, or even 'an infinite'
black.
