Artist Spotlight: James Nizam

Recent series by Vancouver-based artist James Nizam (previously featured here). When we asked him to describe the technique used here he said he “basically turned a camera into a 3 axis plotter that uses a combination of motorized movements with in-camera shutter sequences all in play with the axial rotation of the earth. Essentially extruding points of starlight into line drawings.”
