Photographer and installation artist Anita Giraldo is set to present Steel Ice & Stone: An Experiential Sensory Exhibition in Trenton.
Giraldo’s piece, which unites concepts and media into an integrated sensory environment, activates only upon the presence of viewers. It melds the latest technology in transmitted imagery and micro-controller sound playback.
The exhibition features thin, light-weight HD panels and back-lit photographic film prints. The embedded sound units are mini-computers with programmed instructions to react to viewers’ presence in the exhibition space.
Giraldo said the concept of the piece is memory recall. “I was thinking about fleeting events in my life and how I could make sense of what held them together. I had to share this experience; how could I get others to feel the same way I did?” she said.
Giraldo said she made photographic images of what she was sensing and recorded sounds similar to what she heard.
The exhibition is scheduled to run Dec. 14 through Jan. 4 at Artworks ArtLab, 19 Everett Alley, Trenton. An opening reception is set for 5 to 7 p.m. Dec. 14.
