elcome to my website!!
My name is James Khazar, and I am an educator and artist practicing in the field of digital media. The site serves several functions: As a portfolio site for my art practice, as a curriculum vitae site for prospective employers in academic job market, as a presentation site for the classes I am teaching, as a portfolio/resumé site for the commercial work I have done as a multimedia designer, and last but not least, as a place to put things up on the web that friends might like to see.
This site is also an experiment for testing out some of the web technologies that I teach. For example, it uses
CSS
to
determine all of its look and feel, and uses PHP
to
dynamically create the pages that you see, and JavaScript and jQuery
to
control certain aspects, like the little window that pops up when you roll over one of these:
Swiss Chard
Painting
Alchemical Anaglyphs
And Others
I'm extending my latest art project, Alchemical Anaglyphs, a collection of three-dimensional anaglyphs based on the seventeeth century alchemical engravings of Michael Maier. These "Hermetick Emblems" convey the secrets of alchemy, a precursor to modern science and scientific investigation, and as such are filled with both meaning and mystery.
To see the 3D effect, you'll need a pair of anaglyphic red/blue glasses.
I've also added two new sections to the anaglyphs: noise and buddha(s)
Dark Angels Current Explorations
Updates to my ongoing art project, Dark Angels, an exploration into the less traditional aspects of western art's depiction of angels.
