Light + Paint

This work investigates the intersection of digital technology and painting, locating itself
at the point where the virtual world (new media) meets the physical world (traditional
media). At this intersection the ephemeral, un-located space of digital video is attached,
by means of projection, to the fixed object of a painting, illuminating its surface and
imparting it with motion and the element of time. The manipulated light of the projector
upon the surface of the painting creates a new kind of color space. This new color space
is the combination of subtractive color, the way we view a traditional painting in normal
gallery light (incandescent light), and of additive color, the mixture of red, blue and green
light of the digital projector (luminescent light). This new color space combined with
movement produces a unique pictorial event – a kind of hyper color-field.
