I was first drawn to choose Camille Utterback because of her works focusing on permanent public art and installations. I enjoy Utterback’s fascination with the correspondence between linking computational systems to human movement. Utterback’s concentration of interaction between humans and computers led me to choose her piece “Entanglement”. This piece is made up of three layers of fabric that has projected images on them. These images are interactive – throughout the piece, “tangles” of cords will appear that are able to be moved by motions by the viewer. Also, as the viewer walks around the piece, their profile is cast onto the fabric. On the other side of the fabric, their form becomes merely a murky figure. Utterback describes this overlapping imagery as a “mutually negotiated space”. Utterback is an Assistant Professor in Art at Stanford University. She holds a BA in Art from Williams College. She currently lives and works in San Francisco, California.
