According to the artists' website, Brain Knep is "a new-media artist who uses science and technology to explore change, healing, struggle, and acceptance. Often his works are dynamic and respond to changes in their environment. Some are simply aware of the passage of time while others are interactive, sensing and reacting to the people around them". His artist statement holds true to every word, as this artist explores and straddles two worlds of new media arts and being technologically savvy. To view please click link.
I am in awe in how Knep goes beyond traditional media and portrays such strong themed pieces, where a good majority could not thrive without the interaction of an individual.
I really enjoyed the Healing series and the Deep Wounds, both similar in strategy. The Big Smile was a fun video as it absolutely highlighted your intent on individuals responding to their environment. I really enjoyed seeing the persons under study from the 3rd persons point of view.
Q's
In the article by Greg Cook, Some Sort of Uncertainty, it mentioned that there were eight selected artists, one of whom is Liz Nofziger. How do you and Liz know each other? Are you involved in community art, collaborated, networking, etc?
With double the process in making some of your installation pieces (technology and programming, plus concept and strategy), what is the process? Do you tend to think science first or art purposes first? Do the ideas bounce back and forth through the process or is it a clear distinct idea from the start?
What is the piece that you were least happy with? In regards to success, fulfillment, purpose, statement, execution, etc., and why? How and what would you do differently?
