Jennifer Steinkamp //
Jennifer Steinkamp is an installation artist who works with video and new media in order to explore ideas about architectural space, motion, and perception. She is a pioneer in the field of 3-D animation. Working exclusively in digital media, she uses cutting-edge technology to render organic and abstract forms in motion and give deeper insight into the often unseen complexities of the natural environment. Her immersive installations are projected at a large scale in response to the architectural interiors in which they appear and alter the viewer’s typical experience of an object within a gallery, inviting a more comprehensive understanding of space and time. For each series, Steinkamp designs and digitally simulates movement of organic and abstract forms such as trees, flowers, floating fabrics, rocks, organisms, and fruit. These animated environments often have underlying personal or historical significance. Her work is an examination of the natural environment that engages with art historical genres such as 16th century Dutch still-life painting and scientific illustrations and nature photography.
