Camille Utterback

I plan on writing my final paper on Camille Utterback's External Measures (2003) and Untitled 5 (2004) series of interactive art. I heard about this style of art, which uses the viewer's movements in molding the art work itself, last semester. I am very interested in using this style of digital artwork because it incorporates many of the authors we have discussed in class. I plan on relating Utterback’s work to Virilio’s analysis of the digital as well as Bragaglia’s section on the ability of art to give sensation through movement. Because this type of digital art depends on the viewer, I am narrowing my focus to how interactive art transforms the viewer into both a piece of are as well as the artist.
