Where do I sit ? Who are my peers ?
I am mostly interested in games technology and how it can be used in an Art context. Although impressed with the quality of games graphics and the immersive worlds they create I’m slightly disappointed that more hasen’t been done in this field.
Although I am inspired by many digital artists there are few interactive artworks that I am completely captivated by.
Olafur Eliasson is one of my favorite artists. I love his use of colour and his simple but engaging imagery. He also explores the interaction of the viewer and the artwork. With Notion Motion (image below), people moving through the gallery caused ripples on the water wich then affects the light reflecting of it to redefine the space of the gallery.
Projection art is the medium I’m most interested in, I like how it can take over a space (and not necessarily traditional art spaces) I like the vibrance you can get when painting with light and I like that it can be used do display still, animated video and generative artworks.
More inspiring projection artists.
Craig Walsh
The image below is from Craig Walsh’s Cross Reference, where people looking into the windows and doors of a model warehouse are projected into the actual warehouses doors and windows. I chose this work to show here as it embeds the viewer in to the work,(helping t0 expose the connection between the viewer and the artwork) a theme I’m interested in exploring.
My final artist of interest is Tony Ousler. An artist who often projects on to sculptural froms. The image below is of a miniature projection. Until discovering these works I was of the opinion that projections needed to be huge to have impact where as the intimacy of these works is in some ways can draw you in as powerfully as much larger works. This work also gave me more confidence in the small light and projection works I was exploring last year.
