Ann Lalik, arts coordinator and director of the 罗纳德·K. DeLong Gallery at PSU-LV was thrilled to learn this year’s Laureate is a visual artist.
“I thought it was a great opportunity for the art gallery,拉里克说. “Hosting the exhibit for the entire semester, 还有她为期两天的住院实习, creates a unique experience for all our students, 尤其是数学艺术课程, where students will be able to try what Lori calls robot light painting.”
对于这个过程, students will use simple programming to move a robot that contains LED lights; the light movement will be captured to create a unique photographic image.
Hepner called her exhibit 《关于天空的事” in honor of the work that inspired it. A 1956 television audio/visual essay by naturalist Rachel Carson discussed cloud formations over film footage showing the beauty of clouds. Hepner took the techniques used in Carson’s essay a step further. The movement drawings in Hepner’s exhibit were created using wearable LEDs and cloud seeding pods. She created cloud drawings in site-specific performances outdoors in the coldest months, where she used dry ice to seed visible cloud contrails in the cold air. The process is inspired by meteorologist Vincent Schaefer, who invented cloud seeding techniques and the provider of the films Carson used in her initial essay.
“We’re very fortunate to have Lori [Hepner] exhibit her research, which is using light and movement to create beautiful images that help us experience the world in a unique way,拉里克说. “We’re excited about not only her exhibit, but being able to integrate some of her work into our courses at PSU-LV. The greater Lehigh Valley community is also invited to experience her drop-in sessions to learn how she creates this work, and to be part of her creative process.”
