Art Show Week 3

The art show that I attended this week was to a presentation of the artist Marko Peljhan. His art is mainly focused on the environmental aspects of life. In the presentation, he told us that he is involved in technological developments. He has worked in creating the Makrolab Project with some of his collegues. Along with being involved in the Makrolab Project, he works with the Polar Project. Now the Polar Project is really cool because it is a big cube in which a person can go in a feel like they are inside the network. The purpose of this project was to make the person feel the space of networks and what it looks like. Entering this cube was like being in another world. Now this seems to fascinate me because I would love to step inside this box and feel like I’m in another dimension. Along with all this work, he is also a Professor at UCSB. Marko Peljhan is an interesting artist because he doesn’t draw like many artists, instead he builds things and calls them art. This to me is perfectly fine because I define art as everything we do. His accomplishments have been astonishing and this is why he gets invited to art shows in Europe.
