Jim Campbell

Jim Campbell has been a very interesting artist for me. I believe especially the look and the way of his presentation influenced me with my decision to change the design from "tacky" to far more simple.

For one of his projects he uses advanced computer-driven custom electronics and video to represent memory. Some of the pieces fascinatingly require the viewer to become a participant. My favorite pieces of the Memory Works Installation is the "Night Light"
MWNightLight
There are two memories in this work. One of them stores the level of lightness of the movie "Psycho" by Hitchcock and the other stores the level of noise. According to these data, the light bulbs will change their brightness.

This project does not seem to be too difficult to be rebuild. Attempting to do so would very likely end up in a number of great work.
