Oliver Herring

Again, another experimental artist. He said that his art was about connection. It's very process-oriented.

A lot of times when I make something, I look back and don't remember how I made it. I can guarantee that any photoshop work I've done I couldn't replicate if I was asked to. Maybe I don't pay enough attention to the process. For me, the end result is the payoff. Maybe I have a thing or two to learn about art.

It seems like for Herring, the process is entirely the focus, with the end result just being a side effect, which he then looks at and goes "hmm, isn't that neat, I wonder what this can mean..."

I don't know if either approach to art is necessarily wrong, but his approach is definitely different than mine. Still, the results are really cool.
