NO SUCH PLACE: William Turner Gallery

“We surround ourselves with machines. They shape our experiences and with them our thoughts. We see our world through the cars, trains and planes in which we journey. We travel encapsulated, isolated from the outside world as we propel ourselves through it. And the faster we race across the landscape, the more it becomes a blur.”

LA CANVAS: Adventures in Space and Time
January 5th, 2013 — 2:24pm

Digital-age machinations aside, the camera enjoys a reputation for providing trustworthy, unmediated depictions of the real world, more or less as it actually appears. Whatever filters or post-production technologies abound, the basic idea remains that you can look at a picture and know what something looked like in a recognizable world. But when it comes to the photographs of Jay Mark Johnson, that presumption is turned on its head. . . .

NEW SCIENTIST: Shot from a Doctor Who camera
November 26th, 2012 — 8:13pm
It’s a still image that is more about time than space. Remarkably, the picture has not been Photoshopped: it’s simply a different way of looking at the world. If Doctor Who had a camera, he might take shots like this . . .

HUFFINGTON POST / SLATE: time over space
October 17th, 2012 — 9:57pm
The abstract-seeming images here are not the result of some wacky Photoshopping. Jay Mark Johnson’s photos are actually incredibly precise. The reason they look like this is because he uses a slit camera that emphasizes time over space . . .

THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS: Christ Church, Oxford
June 4th, 2012 — 2:21am
I make photographic timelines. It is an engaging project with plenty of unexpected results. Because the photographs seamlessly blend visual depictions of space and time into a single hybrid image they provide an altered “spacetime” view of the world . . .
