Golan Levin is a professor at Carneige Melon University who is a collaborative digital and electronic mediums artist.
Golans pieces could be described as new age electronic abstractions, or digital
installations.
Eye code is an interesting piece of art
in that the users interact with themselves during the piece being active, their
own eyes are displayed in fron of their face. The eyes displayed in front of
the viewer blink in accordance with the subject sitting in front of the camera.
This piece of art is revolutionary in the fact that it is both interactive,
personalized and well implemented, Golan Levin described it as “typographic tapestry of
recursive observation.” Which menas that your recursive vision is being
processing into a feedback loop that will determine how the eyes on the screen
act in accordance to your eyes movement.
Another pieces of Golan's work that is
notable is 3d printing, this technology of 3d printing has developed over the last ten years
and has exploded in popularity and it is quickly becoming a viable means for
printing plastic material in small batches. Golan uses 3d printing to make simple QR code spray paint templetes to send people messeges in a discrete manner,
In this piece of art a 3d printed QR
code is used to warn people of danger, or signal certain things. This piece of
art alludes to the 19th centuy hobo art that was used to secretly
signal certain things between hobos. This abstraction is interesting because it
is mixing the digital side of art production with the new digital era of 3d
printing and QR codes.
