Links to artists

The Three Artists I found were:

Alan Rath

Bruce Cannon
http://brucecannon.org/

Fernando Orellana
http://www.fernandoorellana.com/

Fernando is the artist I will be speaking about in class. His work takes a look at our constantly changing uses and views of machines/robots and creates work that shows a different perspective of machines as we interact with them in our everyday lives. He contrasts very personal and moral ideas with the very public and useful use of machines. For example, he created a piece that placed a machine in place of a priest in a church booth for confession. He also created an elevator that takes a look into the idea of machines becoming self aware. The elevator reacts to it's interior environment and it's passengers.
