Video Paint Series
Featuring the work of ITP Alumna Andrea Wolf
LIGHT YEAR is an ongoing project presented by 3_Search in collaboration with the DUMBO Improvement District and NYC DOT. Originally created in celebration of the United Nations’ declaration of 2015 as the Year of Light and Light Art, LIGHT YEAR has hosted the work of over 100 artists and curators from around the world.
For its 13th edition, artists Tamas Veszi and Daniela Kostova are curating a unique program in a particular format for showcasing large-scale video in public space. The Manhattan Bridge becomes both a vehicle and structural element of the presentation as videos are projected directly onto the bridge’s surface.
The pieces I'll be showing, from my Video Paint Series, establish a space in which memory becomes an action that is constantly actualized in the present. Using paint as a video tool, the videos activate archival footage, thus exploring methods of physically representing the collection of memories as an embodied experience.

I am also thrilled about the inclusion of my project Weather Has Been Nice to the Electric Objects Art Club collection!
Electric Objects is a digital art platform whose mission is to put digital art on a wall in every home. It consists of a digital display in which you can project videos and animated gifs. You can select what you want to display from a curated selection of artworks, the Art Club. I made eight new pieces from my project Weather Has Been Nice for their collection.
Using a custom-made pixel sorting algorithm, Weather Has Been Nice slowly breaks down vintage found postcards into their basic elements, lunging the static images into an ongoing decay – creating a system where the elements are continuously regenerating and composing new images.
Mailed from around the world, with their exaggerated colors and iconic images, these commoditized landscapes are non-places – at the same time unknown and familiar. Weather Has Been Nice presents us with images unfolding, becoming images. By appreciating these postcards as an instant that unfolds, this project unpacks the complex relationship between memory and place revealing that neither is a fixed static entity outside of ourselves, but rather an intimate experience in constant transformation.
You can find this collection here.
