2nd year semester 2: Research - Brian Knep

Brian Knep is a New Media artist who works alongside science and technology. The work he makes vary in size from tiny, microscopic sculptures to large installtions. He currently lives and works in Boston and he is represented by Ronald Feldman Fine Arts New York.

His series of works Healing Pool were of particular interest. A six channel interactive video installation from 2008, which has custom patterns which tear apart as a person walks on them and rejoin as they move to another part of the installation. He explores the interface between interaction and integration. The patterns change in response to the viewer as does the colour. This notion that the viewer gets to change or recreate the piece is something I hope to establish in my work.
