As the session was canceled I made my way to the Kinetica Museum
-these were my favourits....
Gregory Barsamian
Great piece!! I didnt figer it out how it works
when i was there but after looking at my photos
it made sense... great!!! way of hiding movement thorugh the strob light....
Gregory Barsamian's three-dimensional animated sculptures probe some of the fundamental dilemmas of human existence while celebrating the potency of dreams. Employing the 19th-century theory of the persistence of vision, Barsamian creates kinetic sculptural pieces that meld and metamorphose familiar objects in unexpected ways to suggest cinematic alternative realities. Using rotating mechanical armatures and synchronized strobe lights, Barsamian's pieces transform simple animation into a boldly three-dimensional sculpture illusion - one that is also a kind of magical realism. Barsamian cleverly combines art, science and humour in order to explore the human subconscious. Through his mastery in working with odd yet recognizable imagery, Barsamian allows the viewer to briefly enter into an unconscious world his sculptures make visible. He calls this the "waking dream state."
Jim Campbell
love the LED works... well I am anyway in love with LEDs (see)
definitly inspired me to work more with LEDs even though got no clou how he is doing this. but mixing photos backglichts and movement etc.... really cool...
Holding more than a dozen patents in the field of video image processing, internationally renowned electronic artist Jim Campbell initially discovered his medium of choice through engineering rather than formal art training. As a designer of integrated circuitry in Silicon Valley, he brought a high level of specialist knowledge to the field of interactive media art, allowing him to redefine the technological parameters as they pertained to his work. For Campbell, this intense involvement in the technological aspects of the medium has ensured that it remained “just a tool,” allowing him to explore the more poetic and less mathematical elements of his own perceptual experience. Over the last two decades, Campbell’s work has primarily focused on the process of transforming empirical information into digital data, with specific concentration on the notions of time and memory, an aspect all the more relevant as subjective experience becomes increasingly intertwined with the presence of machines. Described as a “technocrat with an artist’s soul,” Campbell’s work operates on an intensely personal and intimate level despite its complexity, an achievement that illustrates the artist’s commitment to representing the subjective rather than simply demonstrating the innovative.

I have seen some interessting work with light senstive paper before but this LED printer is really cool. also the work in the second floor - really simple idea
...light hanging down and light senstive surface.....the way the drawing or movement is visible for a limited amount of time but not only for the time of the movement ... just like it....
Formed in 2002 by RCA graduates Stuart Wood, Flo Ortkrass and Hannes Koch, rAndom International is a London based design collective that has forcibly reshaped and redefined the notion of applied design within the visual arts. Known for their interactive and regenerating designs, rAndom has developed a unique range of dynamic objects and environments through their sophisticated in-house prototyping process. The group’s interdisciplinary approach, DIY attitude, and genuine appreciation for the unconventional and provocative, have positioned rAndom on the fringes of conventional technology, art, science and design, pushing the boundaries while simultaneously creating true innovation within these fields. In their efforts to transform the consumption of anonymous, endlessly reproducible, digital information into a unique and tangible hands-on experience, rAndom have managed to create an entirely new vocabulary involving malleable forms of illumination.
