Camille Utterback is an artist that creates "interactive installations". She creates shapes that move according to user input from video cameras. This input goes into her program and results in the movment and flowing of the piece. In this videro, Utterback states, "When creating a piece its almost like creating a whole environment." This is because the piece is not static, but constantly moving and changing. Utterback addresses the fact that she is using projection now much less than in the past and her pieces are now usually done with LEDs. She worries about what this means for light itself in the art world. I find this interesting myself, because so much of what we do with painting and such is pigmentation and it is all possible because of light. As we move away from light into other means of displaying art, we must find new ways to express those same feelings with a different medium. I appreciate Utterback's pieces because it allows the user to put a say into what the piece means to them. It makes the piece personal, and more meaningful to each distinct individual and their distinct experiences with the piece.
