I was reading about an exhibition by Bauhaus artist Lazlo Moholy-Nage and remembered that I was always intrigued by his work. Surviving the first world war, he went on to find beauty and aesthetic meaning in the processes of industry. His focus on geometry and color were not limited to traditional art materials as he used industrial techniques (like enamel sign printing) and re purposedmetal parts and glass for sculpture.
I'm certain that as an artistic explorer, he would have been an enthusiastic adopter of digital art processes. His experimental photography shows his interest in pushing the boundaries of film processes and materials.
I'm currently working on some animations that were inspired by his work. They combine hand drawn textures and shapes with digital animation. Will post them as soon as I finish. They draw from the past and point to the future.
