7 Electrons Guest Artist - Jim Campbell
Jim Campbell, more than any other artist, made me aware that there were engineer artists in the world. Back in 2008 Jinna and I visited the Getty in our native Los Angeles and by luck there was a Campbell exhibit going on that featured some of his low resolution works. It was the first time since viewing Nam Jun Paik that I was as interested in the technical aspect of a work as the work itself. I emailed Jim that night and he was extremely nice and wrote back to me within hours. He explained that each pixel he used contained a high power LED and a PIC micro-controller. Each pixel communicated via rs-232 over a two wire bus which became part of the artwork.
Jim is an inspiration because he was able to take his engineering career and turn it into a full time art career, making an immortal stamp on the art world.
Check out the video of my personal favorite piece, “Scattered Light” below.

I had the pleasure of Swiss painter,Olivier Mosset, visit my studio at Hunter to view the installation of the “Monochrome R-40” mound , in which is comprised of entirely XXtra Hot Cheetos, and “Eternal Flam(Ing Hot Cheetos)”, a video component of a burning Hot cheeto infinitely burning.
Mosset is mostly known for his monochromatic painting. As I further investigate the artificial food coloring Red 40, our discourse on the meditative act on looking at one thing at a time moved me deeply. This would be the first time I would install this work without the gold floor as a gesture towards the monochrome.

Every season, the CFA calendar from Wesleyan University is full of exhibits and musical performances that are so intriguing. I try to make it to at least one concert, but honestly, I could see something every month. They put together a fantastic program of professionals, alumni, staff, and students, and I’m lucky enough to live close enough to head to Middletown after a…
