Paul Pfeiffer was born in Honolulu but was raised in the Philippines. Very into technology, Pfeiffer uses computers to edit his videos, photography, and even his sculptures. For a lot of his videos, he will take footage from sporting events such as boxing, basketball, and hockey, and will digitally remove the players from the game and place them in different settings to create a new piece of art. Pfeiffer plays these pieces on mini LCD screens which forces the viewer to concentrate on the piece and really use their imagination. Some of Paul's pieces use computer-generated scenes that recreate Hollywood's most famous horror films such as "the Exrocist" and "Poltergeist."
The reason Paul's work really keeps me interested is because it makes you think about man's transformation and new dependency on technology. Years ago, we weren't like this, but as man has progressed we're become more and more dependent on the technologies available. I believe this is what Paul's work is trying to point out, and that's why it interests me.
