| The creation of digital art for
the Museum of Contemporary
Art of Chicago was part of a collaborative effort by Miroslaw
Rogala. The collaboration was to create Virtual sketches for Mirek's
piece titled "Divided
We Speak". This video interactive installation was to be viewed at
the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago. My contribution to the project
also took different functions. I initially started on the project creating
virtual sets for the installation, but I became more involved in the creative
process of several different types of digital artwork. These types of work
took the form of posters, animation, and finally digital paintings. Once
seen as paintings, they were brought to ARTn
for further review. ARTn took my images and created them into a three dimensional
painting or PHSColograms. ARTn found the images a great departure to their
normal way of producing advertising and scientific PHSColograms and found
an opportunity to bring their product to another artistic level. The images
were created using Softimage and Photoshop.
The Future: Plans to have three final PHSColograms in tryptich form has been completed. ARTn produced these images in the largest format of 50 x 60 inches and compressed 65 frames of images into each PHSCologram making the smoothest transition possible from side to side. The tryptich is being viewed along with a sound installation at the MCA, and has been shown at several other locations such as SIGGRA PH 97 and ISEA 97. Demands for more artwork of this magnitude are increasing... |
