LO – 08

I watched the video on Sarah Groff Hennigh-Palermo from the 2019 Eyeo Festival. Hennigh-Palermo is an artist, data designer, and programmer.
Sarah’s work is devoted to making computers more accessible, flexible, and contextual; to do so she has created art sites, computer langugaes, hybrid machines, and — more recently — films and live visuals.
My personal favorite of her works is “Summer’91” which is based off her own experiences, specifically her childhood growing up in Southern California. I really like this piece because of its smooth visual flow with the warm tones, also once you know the story behind it you feel immersed in the gentle feeling from the piece.
I really like how she also pulls her own experiences into the presentation too. While presenting she often refered to what she has experienced to bring importance to her points.
In addition, her visuals are fun and intriguing making it easy for the viewers to feel engaged and intersted in her presentation.
