Jen Lewin: It’s Electric
June 1–July 27, 2013
It’s Electric, a solo exhibition by new media artist Jen Lewin, features six playful, interactive light and sound sculptures. These works inspire experimentation and group collaboration by encouraging participants to become part of the artwork through direct interaction.
Jen has spent the last 15 years honing her highly technical medium through the fabrication of large-scale interactive sculptures that she has exhibited in public spaces throughout the country. From responsive sound and light forms that incorporate dance, to woven fiber video curtains that reflect movement, to giant robotic moths that flutter in response to human touch, Jen’s ability to utilize technology as a medium challenges many conceptions of new media works. At once organic and electronic, Jen’s playful sculptures leave audiences enchanted and surprised.
