Stevens presents lecture on "Electronic, Kinetic and Interactive Art and the Nature of Light" on February 22
Stevens Institute of Technology’s Department of Humanities & Social Science will present a lecture on "Electronic, Kinetic and Interactive Art and the Nature of Light," by Michael Ward von Uchtrup, Feb. 22, at 7:00 p.m. in Room 203 of the Morton Building, located on the corner of River and Sixth Streets, on the university’s Hoboken campus.
Ward von Uchtrup, a curator, writer, lecturer and arts consultant, will give this address during a slide show featuring artwork incorporating sound, light, motion, or viewer interactivity. The presentation will include works by artists from many countries and some of the field’s pioneers who have invented unique new ways of making art.
The second half of the lecture will be devoted to works created by modifying, substituting, or eliminating one or more of the basic elements of conventional photography: visible light, a camera with lens, photosensitive emulsions, film and paper. This includes pinhole photos, camera obscure imagery, photograms, X-rays, micrographs, infrared and ultraviolet photos, laser-exposed photograms, holograms, lenticular photos and lumiagrams.
Some of the techniques date back to the early years of photography, while others have been adapted by artists from science or medicine, or are simply the result of pure inventiveness.
