Mark Dorf’s Striking Images Mash-Up Nature, Photography, and Tech

Brooklyn-based photographer Mark Dorf combines the natural world with the digital in his recent series //_PATH. A visual exploration of the way things are now, Dorf looks at our tech dependent and plugged in society not with a disapproving eye, but with one that acknowledges the reality of it, saying “it is no longer about logging on or off, but rather living within and creating harmony with the realms and constructs of the Internet for our newest generation of inhabitants.”

Combining digital photography, collage, 3D rendering, and primitive 3D scanning technology, Dorf juxtaposes geometric and synthetic forms against a backdrop of natural landscapes to create “a comparison of language”—nature being our original and most ancient language, the digital forms being our modern one. Dorf’s digitally fashioned spaces represent old and new perceptions of the world around us, and we can’t help but land in the middle of the two.
