The subject of my research-creation is the relationship I (we) foster between fast and modern printing such as digital computer printer printing versus hand-printing, in my case, screen printing. I created one piece digitally and printed it with both techniques. What I hoped to achieve with these ways of printing, was to hopefully illustrate and demonstrate the differences and resemblances each one has and the possible different relationship and perception we entertain with them. My project consists of tangible objects (prints) created with modern technologies (ie. computer and/or camera), one printed digitally, through a modern digital computer laser printer and the second one hand printed with stencils, inks and through a silkscreen, known as screen-printing. I feel that screen-printing is more personal to the person who prints, you have more control of where you want to print, and you can build up on what you already printed. Sometimes the result is very different from the original artwork (digital file). With screen-printing, I (the printer/artist) am physically laying the ink on the paper, I control the pressure the speed and the number of times I pass the squeegee on the screen. Overall, there is something more intimate with hand printing because of the proximity the printer has to the material and the artwork. On the other hand, digital printing is a lot faster and feels more robotic, systematic, and regularized, but at the same time you can play around quickly with the artwork that will be printed on programs such as Photoshop and get an almost identical result to the physical digitally printed artwork. I felt more removed, as the artist from the printing process with digital printing. I think my research question could be explored further and maybe better now that I went to this process.
