| I blend art and science (particularly optics) to produce an effect where the media in my art appears to morph or be animated with the illusion of motion, texture and color change. My art is a reactive composition, designed to interact with custom lighting designed on the Arduino microcontroller platform, DMX or similar, compatible systems. The lights that are used, create effects or illusions that trick the eye. By using sequenced media with particular light wavelengths, what transpires is a choreography between the art and varying light. This combination often creates inversions or seemingly new compositions. One painting sometimes has multiple visual instances with variations in palette, texture, vibrancy, saturation, chromatism, and other characteristics.Below are some terms that are included in the lexicon I have put together for my work: Optical Sequencing Effect (OSE) – the effects produced by ordering optically varied media, such as fluorescent and primary-color paint with transitioning wavelengths of light to evoke multiple optical variations in a tiered or side-by-side configuration that flows across the media, creating a morphing effect, which can appear as melting, shifting, inverting, disappearing, or appearing. The OSE can be employed on any painted or printed surface to evoke a range of optical effects such as absorption, interference, fluorescence, phosphorescence, reflection, iridescence & dichroism. In combination with sequenced light colors. |
