Flatland at the NDMOA Autumn Art Auction

11/28/2017

Inspired by the seemingly unbroken flatness of rural Minnesota and North Dakota along a horizontal plane, Flatland, is a series of photographs that explores the textures and space of the Midwest from an aerial point of view. From as high as 30,000 feet above the surface of the Earth, these photographs look at the microscopic and macroscopic structures of the terrain below. From this aerial perspective the landscape is evocative of the extraterrestrial topography of a distant planet. As if visible through the circular portals of some space-faring craft, the view is not dissimilar to those captured by the satellites and probes used by NASA....

Remote Viewing- Presenting at SPE South Central

Carlos Rene Pacheco will give an Artist Talk concerning three bodies of work; Collective, Obstructed, and Flatland. These works explore the theme of new and evolving approaches to image-making such as webcams, camera phones, and drones. Collective is a series of books and videos made using live webcam images of recurring actions in culturally significant spaces. Obstructed pushes back against the voyeuristic nature of webcams and surveillance cameras. Obstructed is a series of abstractions recorded from live webcams in which various environmental factors and the camera's own mechanisms disrupt the camera's function as a tool that aids in global voyeurism. And Flatland is a series of photographs that explores the textures and space of the Midwest, from above and below, along the vertical z-axis.

Talk about being saved by a whisker. A pair of kittens is on the mend after they became trapped inside a pile of burning brush in North Dakota, only to be saved by a passing photographer who heard them crying. “My first thought was, I am going to have to watch this cat pass away,” Carlos Pacheco, who was photographing the controlled fire earlier this month, told Valley News Live.Pacheco said he had been snapping photos for about five minutes at the blaze near Grandin, about 30 miles north of Fargo, before he heard their cries....

Photographer rescues two kittens from controlled burn

FARGO, N.D. (Valley News Live) - Pyro and Manni are the names of two kittens being called little fire fighters. The two barely survived after being trapped by a controlled burn in rural North Dakota.

The kittens were born in a burn pile, and a couple weeks later it was lit on fire. "I don't feel this was intentional, I think unfortunately they were just in the wrong place at the wrong time.” Says their foster mom, Dawn Barth.
Thankfully, a photographer stopped to capture the controlled burn, and rescued them. "My first thought was, I am going to have to watch this cat pass away, that was my first thought." Says photographer, Carlos Pacheco.
He has been working on a project where he takes pictures of fires, and has never seen anything like it. Pacheco took pictures for about five minutes before he realized the two were inside. He says the sound of the fire was too loud to hear them meow. "I walked over to get some different angles, and I heard a cat meowing, and I kinda looked around and I didn't see anything. So, I took a few steps back over to where I was, and it turns out the cat sort of blended in with the trees."

Pyro was actually inside the fire, and Manni was nearby breathing in too much smoke. "It was too hot for me to even get close to it, which is why I was surprised that the cat was even in it. I had to shield myself with my jacket to even attempt to grab her," says Pacheco.

Pacheco used a stick to pull out Pyro, and scooped up Manni, putting them in a box, and taking them to cat's cradle to get emergency care.

"When I just saw her, I didn't think she would make it." says Barth. "His temperature didn't even register on the thermometer, and her's was low, her's was low too."

Pacheco says he's considering adopting Pyro and Manni, hoping wherever they go they will end up together.
Cats Cradle wants to remind people to spay and neuter their pets, saying that shelters are overflowing with animals.

Artist Carlos Pacheco to Speak at the School of Visual Arts Colloquium

A former astronomy student, artist Carlos Pacheco will speak at the School of Visual Arts Colloquium on January 28th, at 6 p.m. in the CB 109. Pacheco’s current work is a reconciliation of his passion for science and his investigation of the photographic medium. Pacheco’s work takes on multiple forms, from printed photographs to projection to sculptural objects, while exploring the intersection between art and science and examining how we use and understand photography. The photograph is an artifact, not only in the anthropological and historical sense, but also in the technological sense. Photographs are information. Images can be truthful relics but they can also be data; a stream of ones and zeros that are cataloged, shaped, or corrupted. Pacheco is interested in how the photographic medium fluctuates between states of physicality and virtuality. Born and raised in Tucson, Arizona, Pacheco received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree with an emphasis in Photography from the University of Arizona and his MFA in Photography + Integrated Media from Ohio University, in Athens, Ohio.

Carlos Rene Pacheco – Tucson, Arizona
My work takes many forms; however, it is rooted primarily in digital photographic processes. I investigate how we use photography and technology in an increasingly virtual and connected world. I am currently exploring these ideas using live streaming webcams and social media. These spaces include Times Square and Dealey Plaza, where a webcam looks down from the vantage point of John F. Kennedy’s assassin...
