Recently at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, the digital artist Jennifer Steinkamp has created artwork by using projection technology. This artwork uses various designs that are projected on a background that allow a viewer to walk in front of the images, and when they do the artwork adjusts to the shadow of the observer, creating a very interesting effect. Holly E. Hughes, an associate curator at the gallery stated that “Her work is about the viewer’s perception. It explores architecture, space, motion and the phenomenon of perception”, she adds “She is always thinking about how the viewer will interact with the work and how it plays into the space.” This interactive type of art has had many viewers dance along with the art, therefore creating new designs. The viewer should however, try to forget that they are looking a projection from an electronic device, and focus on the work itself. Her work represents various creative aspects of projection technology, and could very likely explode the art industry with this type of artwork.
