Jennifer Steinkamp is a living installation artist. She mainly works with video and new media in order to explore ideas about architectural space, motion, and perception. Her work uses computer animation to craft immersive interactive projections. 3 dimensional computer graphics are the basis of her animation. She fully uses the advantage of computer modeling and rendering technologies to create motions and views which are not accessible by any other means.
Lighting is the most important element in her art. Since most her works are about architectures and spaces, she dematerialize architectures by using multiple lighting methods and combing the space and movement. Her lighting creates an illusionistic sense of space and dimension.
I like her because I feel that she and I share something common in the perception of light, and her work has evolved out of a deep interest in issues of feminism, since I consider myself as a feminism artist. About the technology aspect, she uses tons of software tools such as Maya, After Effects, and Macromedia Director. She likes to use particle dynamics and paint effects. Her work is very overwhelming saturated and patterns are complex.
