Artist Research | Tamás Waliczky


Tamás Waliczky was born in 1953 in Budapest, he is an animation and new media artist and has been working with computers since 1983. He got his start with animation when he was only 9 years old. He usually works with his wife Anna Szepesi who acts as his artistic advisor for most of his pieces. 

 His work titled "Reflections", 2014, was probably my favorite piece I found on his website. He really doesn't have much on his site as to how this installation was made or done, but I find it really cool to decipher. It looks as though the silhouettes are spinning as the images change and are reflected from the images.

Artist Statement: 
"Experience of oneself is always mediated; only experience of others is direct. Just as we are unable to see our face except in a mirror, we are unable to see our inner self other than by reflection, and it is the latter that creates awareness. Contact with others also entails contact with ourselves, and the self of personal identity is simply not available to us without communication and interaction. It is an awareness of oneself that at the same time involves awareness of the expectations of others and our resultant obligations and responsibilities."

Artist Statement | Project 3

Mine and Eric's project is rightfully titled "First World Problems". While our original project idea was much, much different than what the end product shows, we ran into some "first world problems" and had to readjust our plans and come up with something new.  We are wasteful humans at times and we take many things for granted here, including food. Plenty of food is something that we are privileged to have on a regular basis, yet we continue to take this for granted on many accounts. "First World Problems" is to show that being wasteful and taking things for granted, is indeed a problem we have. While being wasteful ourselves for this project, wasting cereal and milk and water... we have then brought in the extra cereal for everyone to eat and to NOT be wasteful of the leftovers.

Gallery Instructions | Final

Materials should include: Cork board with pins 3 pairs of ears 2 hats 3 t-shirts Projector (n ecessary cords for projector) Once all materials are accounted for, first thing you'll want to do is to take the cork pin board and prop it up against the wall so that the pins are facing upright. Next, you'll want to find the 3 clear push pins that are stuck into the cork board. You're going to take the ears and place them on the push pins so that they are hanging. From left to right, it will be the all white pair, the shiny silver pair, and then the white pair with the purple bow. After that, look for the white hat and hang it off the right corner of the cork board, then find the blue hat and hang it off the left corner of the cork board. Finally, there will be an assortment of t-shirts (3), fold them up by putting in the sleeves of the shirts first, then folding the shirts in half, and then half again, laying them in front of the cork board.  Since the installation is m
