NextNOW Fest: Photon Motion, a moving image projection by artist Alyson Denny

ABOUT THE EVENT

Photon Motion is an ongoing series of abstract photographic video loops. To create these moving images, Alyson Denny experiments with ways to bend light and mix its colors, and then mines the resulting photonic material for captivating and beguiling imagery. These works are made to spark each person's imagination in a different way. Whether you see rainbow-infused abstract paintings, or outer-space adventures, or mysterious creatures dancing on the wall, come together to discover where these moving abstractions take you.

ABOUT THE EVENT

Television Delivers People, produced with Carlota Schoolman, focuses on the political import of broadcasting as corporate monopoly and imperialism of the air.
