About the Book
I have been fascinated by television imagery since my first viewing of test patterns in the front display window of a small town hardware store.
I eventually transferred that interest to ways of reproducing the effect on paper while a student in Fine Arts. Eventually, I succumbed to investigating the concept through image editing software on a computer.
The original photographs were color negatives or color slides that date back to the 1970s through to the 1990s. They are part of a life project of capturing images as they present themselves. The images were selected as being appropriate to the thought that being seen on TV is validation; of the moment, the place, the experience. The Chair of Final Remorse was exhibited at ‘Siggraph 2003’ in San Diego.

About the Creator
Raymond St Arnaud
Victoria, BC, Canada
The world presents itself and I observe. There are times the observation becomes an obsession. Sometimes, a casual encounter. These moments become the photographs I interpret by exaggeration or simplification. I have been an exhibitor since 1969; exhibiting photographs, painting and prints through 150 exhibitions, primarily in US university, college, and community galleries in 31 American States; in BC, Alberta, Ontario and in web galleries in Canada, Australia, China, Thailand, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Italy and the United States. I now publish books of current and past projects as a means of closure and completion. Born and educated in Alberta, I moved to the coast in 1984, and have been living in Victoria since 1986. .
