I would not have discovered so many interesting art stuff if I did not come to Macaulay and take Art Seminar in Queens College. I feel thankful to this program because it exposes me to so many amazing art and brings me the great experiences that I could never have imagined; it also motivates me to discover art news in the Internet.
I find a interesting news about the huge pinball game which is projected onto the facade of a building. During the Festival of Lights 2011 in Lyons, France, “Carol Martin and Thibaut Berbezier, who form the experimental art collective CT light, made the installation, called “Urban Flipper” which create the projection. It utilizes every single element of the exterior of the the building of Celestins Theater and presents these elements as the obstacles of the pinball game. It allows the onlookers the opportunity to play the most spectacular pinball game in the world. That is really stunning; I wish I could have been there and play it or at least witness it.
When I saw the video for the first time, I was astonished; I was thinking that how could this be possible. But, Martin and Berbezier just made it; their imagination is incredible. This is a great combination of art of light and game. The art of light seems like is developing and progressing rapidly. A couple of months before, I read the news about the Ground Zero Ceremony during which the the twin towers were “rebuilt” in the form of two straight blue light, which also amazed me. Usually, we only see light as an element accompanied to the performance on the stage, but now we see more and more light performance which is displayed independently. The magic of light, I believe, will continue to entrance us.
Just recall what I have written before about the art of firework, I feel that, today, multifarious arts are swarming throughout the world. Art is not restricted to paintings, sculpture, music, dance anymore; it has developed into new dimensions and it is absorbing more elements that will bring us more novel experiences.
