...exhibit makes reference to one of two motifs in the landscape tradition: the untouched romantic sublime exemplified by the Hudson River School and the carefully controlled nature exemplified by the formal French garden. In From a Distance, these hand-me-down conceptions are consistently subverted. The show is a visual diagram of a vicious cycle, of humanity's destruction of nature, and nature's unrelenting growth over humanity. Arturo Herrera's biomorphic felt wall sculpture, "Behind the House I," is the demonic overextension of romanticism's untouched sublime, displaying a terrifying kudzu-like growth which crowds the visual plane with...
...screen television. The two-hour pilot explodes with a flashback to Max's escape from a government compound in a high-volume snowmobile chase. The script is mixed: the slang can be forced, the attempts at Buffy-esque humor sometimes fall flat. But it yields up one stunning visual after another--Max perched atop a decrepit Space Needle; nine-year-old Max holding her breath under a frozen lake; Max coolly wheeling Logan down a hospital corridor as an explosion silhouettes her from behind...
...easy to see why music video veteran Tarsem Singh was attracted to directing The Cell, this summer's harshest piece of visual eyecandy, because so much of the movie is like a music video itself.

Mason is keenly interested in pursuing filmmaking, saying that his penchant for black-and-white photography stems from his interest in film as well as art in general...
Mason's description of his own photographs demonstrates how they combine his interests in both visual art and writing, as he says that he began to photograph subjects that he felt 'had a narrative, that were somewhat fictional.' Soon Mason moved on to shooting people in isolation, deep in thought, giving the viewer a small glimpse into their innermost worlds. However, Mason also takes pictures of his friends, dividing his time between what he characterizes as 'premeditated, set shots with a constructed narrative and spontaneous street photography.' On the whole, he prefers creating 'random' pictures of people he doesn...
