Artist Talk

This morning I listened to Patrick Kelly, a candidate for the digital arts teaching job. He presented a lot of his photography and how he got started with his love for nature and brought in some human aspects of creating the environment. Eventually he started using the web as a showcase and then created some natural looking art with the computer. He is currently interested in using web space not only as a showcase, but as the art itself. For example, he collaborated with a musician to create a labryinth on the computer, much like a video game. He likes the idea of the viewer being able to interact with the art and decide for themself what is real and what has been created. I think he is an excellent candidate for the posistion.
