Last week I went to the Beall Center of Art Museum. It is located at the University of Irvine and is completely free. I witnessed the electronic art, interactive installations created by Golan Levin. There were about 8 installations that all required participation. The very first one we interacted with was called Eye Code. You stand on footprints that put your eyes in line with a camera in the wall. It then records your eyes after you blink a couple of times and puts them in a sequence with all the other eyes the camera has seen. My favorite one was a noodle robot art that recorded your image as a noodle painting and mirrored your movement. It was so much fun interacting with all the electronics. It is perfect for a fun art experience and can be enjoyed for hours by anyone, any age. I plan on going back when I have more time before his gallery is replaced with another one.
I took a photo of the outside because I wasn't sure if cameras were allowed. It is a really small gallery space.
This was an interactive pad that created explosions of electronic art by stroking your finger on the pad. This one created a bacteria effect. Once you touched the pad the points your finger hit started spreading this pretty green leafy paint.
This was a machine that used our vocal sounds to create imagery. This one created bubbles that floated up to the ceiling then with other sounds you created made them fall and bounce around!
