Charles Sandison at DAM

The Denver Art museum's Embrace! show is going on until April 4th, and I highly recommend visiting if you are interested in Installation.

Embrace! looks at the unique architecture of the newish Hamilton Building through the lens of 17 Installation artists.

Tobias Rehberger's Bungee cord maze is really spectacular. I love that in the towering wide open space of the Denver Art Museum I can feel cramped and uncomfortable, weaving my way through tight spaces with no real goal other than the experience.

As a digital art enthusiast (and as a human being), I couldn't help but love Charles Sandison's Chamber, an immense video Installation.

A large room in the DAM is turned in to what looks like a milky way of words and patterns sprawled across the walls and ceiling, interrupted from time to time by your towering shadow. The words and colors change, like a living stream.

Just go check it out for your self to get the real experience, but Sandison compared it to getting lost watching fire. The most primitive form of entertainment, created with technology, and modern language.

If you're a Projectorphile like me, you will especially enjoy it.
