Mills College Art Lecture Series: Camille Utterback
Camille Utterback creates spaces for kine esthetic discovery and play using video tracking software or other sensors to react and respond to human movement and gesture. In her installation Text Rain (1999), participants use their bodies to catch and play with projected lines of a poem. In her External Measures series (2001–2007) Utterback explores the possibilities of interactive painting systems. She will also discuss her large-scale public commissions, such as Aurora Organ (2009), City of St. Louis Park, Minnesota and her recently completed commission for the Sacramento Airport. Utterback’s extensive exhibit history includes more than fifty shows on four continents. Awards include a MacArthur Foundation Fellowship (2009), a Transmediale International Media Art Festival Award (2005), and a Rockefeller Foundation New Media Fellowship (2002). Presented with support from the LEF foundation. Lecture Information: All lectures take place at 7:00 pm in Danforth Hall in Aron Art Center unless stated otherwise. Lectures are free and open to the public.
