Paint + Light
This work investigates the intersection of painting and digital technology, locating itself at the point where the physical world (traditional media) meets the virtual world (new 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 it with a new color space and code-derived content, creating a hybrid pictorial experience.
Reference points for this work come from an interest in the historic changes brought about in art by social and cultural transformations and rapid developments in science and technology in the 1960’s and 70’s.
