Timothy Saccenti is one of the most exciting and innovate photographers working today. We've been itching to work with him for ages, so when he agreed to come on board with The Studio we were very pleased to say the least. Timothy also did this rad campaign for PlayStation in Japan which you may have seen last year.
Describe your theme in five words...
Inner space glyph glitch inducer.
Where do you draw your inspiration from?
Atmosphere, science, supernature, humanity, humour.
Why did you choose to showcase your work in partnership with a global brand like PlayStation?
I liked the idea of this piece living in the digital community they have created, this other reality.
What’s it like seeing your work fully digitised on The Studio?
Relevant.
How did you adapt your work – in terms of both the feel of The Studio space and the physical parameters of PlayStation’s XrossMediaBar (XMB)?
Trying to divine the piece into something that works called for a slight retro-fit of my initial ideas, but constraints are what make creating something in this new world very interesting. It's a new medium and has new tools and they are meant to be explored and exploited.
How is technology changing the way you work?
Working in photography and film as I mainly do, technology is a large part of the process. The idea and point of view are always the most important element of any project. I think if anything the technology sometimes makes things appear too easy to create, so at times, no decisions are made as the possibilities are endless. In this way technology is problematic, so dealing with regaining ideas in seems to be the most difficult aspect. But it has allowed me to feel close to collaborators across the world in many ways via communications tools and in that way has expanded, and shrunk, the world.
If you could have created any video game throughout history, what would it be?
Ms. Pacman. Best female protagonist ever.
If you could turn a PlayStation into a piece of art/design, what would you do with it?
Gold-plate it and wear it around my neck.
What’s your favourite video game?
REZ was a beautiful immersive favourite.
