Born 1965 in Los Angeles
The process of developing Chad Robertson's paintings involve both a video camera and a computer. The subjects are first videotaped with a digital camera during an “interview” session with the artist. The digital footage taken from this experience is downloaded into the computer where Robertson examines frame-by-frame looking for the “moment between moment” gestures that lie behind the façade of external projections. These chosen moments (subtle nuances such as a blinking eye, a hand brushing the face) are layered in Photoshop, juxtaposing different expressions to complete a rough “video sketch”. This digital composition is then used as the reference for the final execution of the painting. Because a work of art can be digitally created within the confines of the computer, the actual physical remains untouchable in cyberspace. It can be printed but still there is no human physicality in the original artwork. Therefore, when Robertson creates the finished piece of work, the oil paintings, now imbued with a human touch, become the physical representations derived from the arranged pixels. Just as the paintings strive to show a truer self in their subjects, the process itself, from physical to digital to physical once more, play its part in finding a deeper sense of significance.

I personally think that the 1 minute short clip tells the audiences of the lack of social environmental space in Hong Kong.http://hk.youtube.com/watch?v=MzH-orX0nDc

Wonderwall
Wonderwall Inc. always surprises me in every new store design like the bape and uniqlo store.
This one is the A.P.C. Daikanyama Homme store located in Daikanyama, Tokyo.
Creating an impression of a space that had some big changes to the interior without actually making changes was an important factor in this project. The space has been restructured while revering the fact that it was cherished for a long time, with a garden as the entrance, with different rooms and space each with it's own scenario of the A.P.C. world.

After getting aware of the viewpoint of an "empty self," I started in 1999 a series of works using paper, titled "Linear-Actions Projects by Drawing and Cutting." It looks like annual rings of a tree or topographical map or waive, but it isn't. It is absolutely the traces of actions of a person, which is me.
So to speak, I have been mapping the mysterious land between physical and emotional geography. I want to attain something sublime. The entrance of the way is detail. The detail is the key point of nature, and we are part of nature. Even though the actions are simple, I do not try to draw / cut mechanical or perfect lines in my work, for subtle natural distortions convey the nuances of human emotions, habits, or biorhythm. For this reason, I take care to make all works by hand.
When I am drawing or cutting lines, I am interested in observing the power of the changing growing shape. This dynamic shape becomes an entity in itself, "Another geography." In a sense, the empty space is myself, and the materials represent the present world. Cutting book work is like collaboration for me. And it is important to choose the materials carefully because printed matter conveys a message automatically. The relationship between the linear actions and the materials is like the relationship between human beings and their restricted environment, a connection that is interested in me, too.
