Karen Atkinson is the professor at CalArt. Her work is a large screen coated with phosphorescent paint that holds the shape of projected images, like an echo repeats a sound.
Chamber of Mystery and Ring of Fire by Mathieu Briand
With Mathieu Briand (left three)
Sculpture in the Chamber of Mystery
Starting at 6:43 pm, the time sun descended below the sea, chamber of mystery made by Mathieu Briand opened to the public. We went into the chamber and saw the sculpture and the echo made by the special sound inside. Above the chamber is the ring of fire, it represents the power of the sun after sunset. We talked to Mr. Briand, who is a french artist, he regards the ring of fire as sun, the whole work display the worship to sun and our earth's primal essence.
With professor Victoria Vesna
Me wearing octopus dressing!
Eventually, we found our professor! She was taking the ride of the Pacific Wheel wearing the glowing octopus, the whole wheel would become the ultimate revolving mandala. The name was the Octopus Mandala Glow(OMG). The wheel represents the industrial age and the octopus shows human's wish to control it instead of being controlled. It was also a symbol that people taking back the joy of simple like and celebrating the end to the industrial age.
It was a really exciting experience to see our professor for the first time this quarter! The creativity revealed in these exhibitions improved our expectations of the topic in the coming quarter!
