An Art Form That Works For A Living
121411 08:50 EST
It is the pursuit of New Media Art in architectural glass, produced through exciting technologies, yet referential in a non-objectivism approach as beautiful spectral transformations of light. I’d like to share my thoughts:
With light as the fundamental defining factor in all visual art, the glass work I have successfully produced is both highly advanced, and culturally relevant. Combining computer media artworks created through the use of advanced graphical software and hardware with environmentally responsible materials and processes, I have created an architectural art glass of colors so pure (up to a theoretical 36 Billion potential, far exceeding the human eye’s 10 Million color perception) that the combining with sunlight produces spatial moments, changing by the minute, by the day, by the year as dynamic interrelationships between light and space.
Our glass work is the merging of diverse materials, technologies, and New Media art. The process begins with the finalization of an artwork on the computer, transmitted via internet to a proprietary UNIX server. This server drives an extremely precise RGB (red, green, blue) laser machine to transform by continuous exposure, a super-high resolution polyethylene film interlayer, achieving 4000dpi equivalent resolution continuous tone colors exactly as I have specified within my artwork. The film interlayer is then moved to a clean room where it is layered between sheets of urethane and low-iron optically clear glass. The glass assembly is then sealed in a vacuum bag and placed in an autoclave, reaching 5000psi at high temperature, semi-liquefying the urethanes to permanently bond all layers together.
The result is an art form that works for a living. It is an art that at once brings the visible light spectrum to witness by intricate design and pattern, forms and textures, contrast and complexity. It brings vibrancy to the physical backdrop of our daily lives while ever changing as its unbreakable relationship with the sun tracking the movement of our earth. A public space with such an influence is a public place never the same.

Art Glass for a Saudi Prince
110711 15:58 EST
We've been working hard on a version of the great Mecca Clock in Saudi Arabia, to be installed at the residence of a Saudi Prince. Using our architectural laminated art glass technology, we presented a pair of samples to our worldwide clock maker client last week. This glass clock face will be the ultimate test of our process, as the sun is very intense in Saudi Arabia, and the specified color temperature for the internal LED's is less than desirable. We prefer working with 5300K, as true daylight. Here's a snapshot of the sample when placed outside on our client's light box.
