Ava, checking out an art show for the first time. She looked at the paintings a bit, but I think her favorite part was the three chairs that were set up in the side yard.
I am having a solo exhibiting at Boneflowers in San Francisco.
Opening reception is this Friday. 3-11-11 from 6-9pm
Attendees view works from the "Degrees: Work by the Eastern Illinois University Community" show during the opening reception Friday, Jan. 31 in the Lonnie Eugene Stewart Art Gallery in lower Building D at the Main Campus in Galesburg. The show is free and open to the public and will remain on display until March 16.
This is a hard one to explain. Richard Brown, resident neuroscientist at the Exploratorium, had an exhibit for the Liminality party, called "A world without colors". You walked into a room, and all of a sudden you were in a black and white movie: everything was monochromatic, a pale shade of yellow, and it was impossible to determine the color of anything. Very stunning sensation.
At the entrance of the room there was a rainbow-striped carpet: as you passed the threshold (the "limen"), the rainbow lost all its colors and became a collection of stripes in shades of gray. Posters on the wall looked like black ink etchings. There were big bowls of multi-flavored Jelly beans, and they all looked gray and black. It made it harder to identify the flavor, showing that taste is a very complex and multimodal perception, which relies on more than just the taste receptors on our tongues, but includes sight as well as smell. When we say that we eat with our eyes, it is literally (albeit partially) true.
How did it work? He flooded the room with low-vapor sodium lights, which put out only one frequency of light. Our brain can compute color by comparing the information that comes in from our three different types of cones (photoreceptors in the retina, the back of the eye). By flooding the visual scene with one frequency, this comparison is shortcircuited, and the brain interprets everything as monochromatic.
Another genius bit was that he had arranged a number of regular flashlights that you could pick up and go around the room shining a beam of full-spectrum light on objects. This brought back the colors only in the spot where the light shone. It was like having a magic wand that painted colors on the world.
He had also arranged colored markers and index cards, so that you could make a "black and white" drawing, then with the flashlight discover the colors in them. And a lot of other small details. It was a fascinating and fun room to spend some time in, albeit a little eerie and otherworldly.
Of course, digital cameras are not like our brains, so taking pictures did not work very well. They came out strongly dominant in the yellow, but the sense of monochromaticism was lost. So I photoshopped this image to reproduce the percept of what it felt like to be in the room. I think it came out relatively true to the experience.
Here's the back of the announcement postcard. For the front of this card, showing images of some of the art work being displayed, including one of mine, see the immediately previous post here.

Evan, looking at the paintings at the art show. Ava had said that the Space Needle one was her favorite, but that might have been because she was sitting in a chair across from it at the time. I think the one that Evan identified as his favorite might have been the one Ava was looking at in my picture of the day. He was telling me on the way home that it reminded him of [Lego] Ninjago City.
I wanted to hang this upside down a 'la chihuly but i deemed it unsafe (sharp wires) so it now looks like a tree!
Come and join me for a weekend of drawing, writing, talking, singing, humming and whatever else on the theme of Dungeness. Sat 10th and Sun 11th August 2019
