daniel Baltzer daniel Baltzer is a mixed media painter that explores the condition of humans entangled in current culture, technology and trends through the use of graphic layering. He has always been intrigued by the play between the flattened (collage-like) images he paints as they layer and overlap to create an artificial dimension within the painting. Currently, he is painting a series entitled ‘broadcast’. Begun in May 2006, ‘broadcast’ is a series of paintings that explores the use of communicationtechnology to create and maintain social networks around the world. This technology has the potential to weave people, ideas and culture into a single dynamic fabric. To participate in this process involves taking risks, as children do when they play. Children use play earnestly as an opportunity to explore and connect, creating the framework by which they learn and make more complex decisions, while staying adaptive. Communication through play is a basic element to understanding the world and the link we have to society through the networks we have formed.
