One of my most favorite installations is called "Flow" and focuses on evolving images. Objects that are moving in the space are seen clearly because they are stationary, whereas the movement of people is recorded making them blurry. The feeling of movement in contrast to the architecture gives the piece a unique feel. The artwork functions to showcase the beauty of the natural standing monuments. Watching the video at the bottom of the page gives you a better sense of what the installation would look like in reality.
Rokeby has a ton of other interesting works that are along the same lines. So check out some of his other works under the installation tab.
This artist has a very unique gallery and lovely work. It has been a while since I have commented on art of this type, and I am pleased to do so again. The human body is observed in numerous ways ranging from biology to human sexuality. This artist has displayed figures in motion using art and digital materials to add new ranges to the outlook on the human body. We are familiar with body sculpting, painting, and photography, however, Rokeby has stretched the view of what we analyze in the visual and physical aspects of the human body as well as the mental aspects in which we generate interpretations and interest in the body as well. One other interesting note about this artist is the various instruments he uses to construct his Installations. I viewed the "inter/face" installation and noticed a familiar technological instrument that I relate to in which he used. Computer Graphics and 3D modeling are and have been great methods of expressing the human body in ways that are difficult to do manually or impossible.
ReplyDeleteI have always liked people who do these kinds of stuff. Making interactive works that the general public can interact with is way too awesome. This show people that art is not just drawing and painting. My interest for these kinds of stuff made me take Art 319 but after staying in that class for maybe three weeks, I realized this is not for me. I had to drop the class and focus on what I am good at which are web creation, animation and modeling. I may not be good at that field but I still enjoy the works of those who make it.
ReplyDeleteThis almost reminds me of motion photography but a lot more in depth. I like how it's interactive, which seems to be a lot of what people are going for now days. I love the piece called 'cloud' because I like the idea of having the piece kind of 'mess with your mind' in a way through different illusions he makes with the timing of each row.
