Terra Cognita
Stephanie Valentin
earthbound (2009)
Sfumato, Italian for ‘smoky’, is a technique in painting in which the contours of objects are blurred. With the use of a 3D programme and mathematical noise algorithms Edi Szekely created idyllic, apparently virgin landscapes. But by applying a sfumato technique to parts of the image, the impression of mystery is evoked. It is reminiscent of the way in which we usually think about landscape: as something that is largely shaped by interventions on the part of man.
