Alberto Novello is a new media artist and visual music composer who uses laser, modified CRT monitors and oscilloscopes to create audiovisual compositions in which the sound and video signals are the same.  He works on collaborations. Alberto Novello - Frame from Feedback Plane#2 Alberto Novello's art practice approach "Alberto Novello a.k.a. JesterN ’s practice uses found or decontextualized analogue devices to investigate the connections between light and sound in the form of contemplative installations and performances. He repurposes and modifies tools from our analogue past: oscilloscopes, early game consoles, analogue video mixers, and lasers. He is attracted to their intrinsic limitations and strong ‘personalities’: fluid beam movement, vivid colors, inf…

Sacred Lumia Gallery by Louie M. Brill Louis M.Brill is a lumia artist who works from his Lumia art studio in San Francisco, US. He also writes a blog named, Sacred Lumia , here he explores "the processes of Lumia and how it fits into the world of art, cinema and culture as a visual medium of appreciation”. This is a really great resource for artists and scholars interested in the practice and context of lumia art. Louis embraces “the light as the paintbrush and canvas to present Lumia art as a very evocative and nattarive visual presence.” An important part of his practice is that lumia can be controlled through directed artistic intensions and I think this is a very commendable point. WIth the advent of technologies that can do the art for you, there is stil…

I have just come across the work of Andreas Karaoulanis. His animations are 'stop me in my tracks' beautiful. I have watched some from his vimeo channel, but felt I must post this to keep track of this great work. Why do I like it? The illustrations in a moving collage type style are so rhythmic. The movements and the flat arrangement of objects and cut outs in a formless and groundless space, in fact, the space is just a background colour in many works, is perfectly in tune with the musicality of the music, not just a synchronised beat but a whole mood, style and playfulness that may not even be apparent in the music, if one listened to the music on its own, but emerges with his playful rhythms and arrangement and positioning of independent yet connect…
