Magyar's website hosts a selection of interactive
images in which the viewer is invited to hover over areas of the image to see a
close up of the area.
The images reveal Magyar’s fascination with high
tech cities as well as his ability to use modern technology in the creation of
his work. To Magyar, the city is as much a natural environment as the rain
forest; he feels that the scientific achievements we make are an integral part
of our evolution.
Magyar studies movement; sometimes created by
merging separate images, the study shows people moving en mass, their main
motivation being arrival.
I find Magyar’s work intriguing and quite
voyeuristic. The original image is what we see every day and mostly bypass without
thinking, yet having the ability to zoom in gives a sense of viewing through a
telescope, watching silently and unnoticed.
I have attached a link to Magyar’s website rather than images as his work is about the experience rather than a fixed image.
