ARTIST TALK : Light//Form

THE TALK
Join us Light//Form exhibitors Aron Altmark and Rachel Stoll on Sunday, June 24 at 2:00pm. The artists will discuss the sculptures created with LED lights and how it is linked to data from the San Lorenzo River.

THE SHOW
Light//Form weaves art and technology to create an interactive experience tied to the San Lorenzo River data driving the sculpture River Motion*. This exhibition provides new ways for participants to connect with their surrounding environments. Sensors located within Radius will allow viewers’ motion to influence some of the pieces, including a projected version of the Soquel Bridge and data being used in the physical installation. Other compositions focus on the physical use of light to create shape and environment. Light//Form invites other artists in sound and dance to create within the installation.
