Jacob's Leaf, graffiti added
We held our first AIMS brownbag: Jacob Tonski showed us his work, an amazing array of projects collectively called “experiential art.” Jacob has begun using our digital modeling lab: he’s currently modeling some leaves in order to orchestrate a post-fall fall. Stay tuned. The attendees were terrific, an art professor noticing that all Jacob’s work is directed at undermining hierarchical (and sadistic) power relationships. For instance, one work automatically brings participants in a conversation all to the same eye-level; another thanks people following a car for whatever courtesy they have shown. I was thinking as I saw all Jacob’s work that he would have been a great special effects artist, but motion-picture effects are more often about violence and robbing people of their dignity, whereas his work definitely tends the other direction.
