Bio

I'm Bobby Mairone, and I'm a Senior studying Digital Arts. I'm from South Jersey, specifically Linwood, New Jersey, which is 15 minutes from Atlantic City. I like to produce music in my spare time, and I hope to incorporate that somehow into my installations. I didn't know art was something that I could do until I started doing it which is why I'm excited to see what I can create in this class.

Artist Research: Peter Burr

     Peter Burr was born in 1980 in Brooklyn, NY. He specializes in computer animation and creates abstract environments that draw inspiration from the immersive quality of video games. In the past, Burr produced art under the name Hooliganship and created a video label called Cartune Xprez. He has received many grants and awards such as a Guggenheim Fellowship (2018), a Creative Capital Grant (2016), and a Sundance New Frontier Fellowship (2016). He is currently a visiting scholar at Carnegie Mellon University's Center for the Arts in Society.      Burr's work Cave Exits premiered at Images Festival in 2015. This work plays on the idea of retro dungeon crawler video games. The viewer is surrounded by four screens with constantly changing abstract images and videos. This is a reference to the procedural generation of the levels of those video games. This work has been shown at Fenway Park in Boston, MA; 3-Legged Dog Art & Technology Center in New ...

Artist Research: Jeffrey Shaw

     Jeffrey Shaw is a new media artist and researcher from Melbourne, Australia. He was born in 1944. From 1965 to 2002, he lived in various places such as London, Milan, and Amsterdam.  In 2003, he was appointed director of iCinema Research Centre at the University of New South Wales. Since 2009, he has been the Dean of School of Creative Media at the City University of Hong Kong.      My favorite work of his is Divine Comedy AR. There are a row of marble canvases along a wall. At first glance, the piece seems like just a collection of marble. But when you look at them through an iPad, the marble comes alive. The marble panels transform into spaces in which 3D animated characters move around and do various things. https://www.jeffreyshawcompendium.com/portfolio/divine-comedy-ar/

Artist Research: Ai Weiwei

     Ai Weiwei is a Chinese contemporary artist. He was born in 1957 and is currently based in Beijing. His probably most famous for his collaboration with Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron on the Beijing National Stadium for the 2008 Summer Olympics. He is also a political activist. He has spoken out against the Chinese government's stance on democracy and human rights.      Because his outspokenness, Weiwei was put in jail for 81 days without any official charges. His album The Divine Comedy  tells the story of his experience with the Chinese authorities. "Laoma Tihua" is my favorite song off the album. This song paints a vivid picture of the police breaking into Weiwei's home and beating him with lyrics like "Why are you breaking in? To teach you a lesson, kid." The album is a powerful way of explaining the experience of a political dissident speaking out against an authoritarian government.   The Divine Comedy  album cover
