Last week my classmates and I attended the Kinetica Art Fair last week. What appeared to be a throw back to over-sized office toys from the early 90s was actually art installations dealing with kinetic, electronic, robotic, light, sound, time-based and interdisciplinary new media art. I felt like I was thrown back to my high-school science fair days where each artist had a corner of the room exhibiting their latest inventions.
Some of my favorites included:
Lilian Lijn- Liquid Reflections
Sam Zealey- Kyte 2010
Chris Levine- LIght is Love
Tom Wilkinson- Square Dance
Also an immersive room filled with LED light strands called “ocean of light” by squidsoup (http://oceanoflight.net)
Rosaline de Thélin used fiber-optic cable as a medium to create hologramlike artwork inspired by astronomy and quantum physics.
