V seriji giclée printov 010058211020 interdisciplinarni umetnik Jurij Hartman izpostavi njihovo potajeno kuliso in časovnost, ujeto med procesom zajemanja podobe s pisarniškim skenerjem. Štirje diptihi in štirje triptihi razkrivajo alternativen pogled na digitalno ustvarjeno podobo. Desni del diptihov predstavlja hrbtno stran arbitrarne, pa vendar estetske podobe na levi – njeno izvorno SVG ali PNG kodo, ki jo samodejno določi sistem programske opreme Adobe Illustrator. Gre za podatkovno formulo, ki jo umetnik omeji zgolj na segment dela, razkrit v naslovu – to pogojuje format, ki pri delih ostaja enoten. Zaradi lažje digitalne, kot tudi materialne diseminacije se podoba v »prevodu« razkrije kot digitalna brozga ekstrapoliranih informacij, hladna razdrobitev tega, kar je. Gre za hermetično gesto umetnika, ki s tihim občudovanjem obelodani kompleksnost mehanizma, ki se skriva za nemara skoraj banalnim grafičnim ali fotografskim delom. Pri triptihih umetnik s skeniranjem ujame časovnost, zajeto v 5 minutah in 8 sekundah filma Dr. Strangelove (1964) ter 8 sekundah dokumentacije del Six Books on 1968 (1969) nemške umetnice Hanne Darboven. Umetnik se giblje pod okriljem že obstoječega in objektivnega, ozira pa se po njegovi latentni strani.

Jurij Hartman (2002) je slovenski interdisciplinarni vizualni umetnik, ki ustvarja med Ljubljano in Škofjo Loko. Med letoma 2017 in 2021 je obiskoval Srednjo šolo za oblikovanje in fotografijo v Ljubljani, smer grafično oblikovanje. Umetniško izobraževanje je nadaljeval na Akademiji za likovno umetnost in oblikovanje v Ljubljani, kjer je sprva študiral video animacijo in nove medije, nato pa se je preusmeril v slikarstvo. Trenutno zaključuje dodiplomski študij, ki ga je začel leta 2021. Njegova umetniška praksa temelji na interdisciplinarnem poznavanju slikarstva, grafičnega oblikovanja, instalacije in multimedijske produkcije ter zanimanju za teoretska področja kulturne analize, medijske teorije in semiotike.

Through a series of giclée prints titled 010058211020, comprising four diptychs and four triptychs, interdisciplinary artist Jurij Hartman reveals their ‘backdrop’ and the temporality captured in the process of scanning images with an office scanner. The prints offer an alternative perspective on digitally created imagery. In the diptychs, the right image is the “flip side” of an arbitrary yet aesthetically pleasing image on the left – its original SVG or PNG file code, automatically generated by Adobe Illustrator software’s system. This generated formula is limited by the artist to a segment of the image referenced in the title, creating a uniform format across the works. For easier digital and material dissemination, the image is translated into a digital amalgamation of letters and numbers – extrapolated information or a cold fragmentation of what it really is. Through this hermetic gesture, the artist exposes, with quiet admiration, the complex mechanisms behind what might otherwise seem like, at most, an ordinary print or photographic piece. In the triptychs, Hartman captures time by scanning sequences of 5 minutes and 8 seconds from Dr. Strangelove (1964), and 8 seconds documenting Six Books on 1968 (1969), a work by German artist Hanne Darboven. He works within the realm of the pre-existing and objective while probing its latent aspects.
