4 - Ahalya Nirmalan: Contemporary Artist

Rafael Lozano-Hemmer

This electronic artist is known for his interactive installations that he has created worldwide. He uses robotics, real-time computer graphics, film projections, positional sound, internet links, cell phone interfaces, video and ultrasonic sensors, LED screens and other devices.

In his works, I think that he really tries to stress public participation. He really plays with the public's idea of perception and deception. The photo below shows one of his installations that uses the idea of shadow play.


The photo below shows one of his interactive light installations. The lights are from sculptures and are generated by the heart rate of on-site participants.
