Coinciding with the International Year of Light in 2015, the Espacio Fundación Telefónica presents the work of Jim Campbell, 27 works based on a combination of techniques of video art and light projected on common media playback as LEDs, LCDs and monitors or screens television. Through the manipulation of electronics and computers, the artist brings us to the world of video installations and light sculptures of great visual beauty. Areas of LEDs, pixels, video projectors, frames, electronic circuits and pixelated photographs, producing evocative and provocative images that challenge the visitor questioning your powers of perception.
The exhibition, held in collaboration with the Dundee Contemporary Arts, also includes some of his most representative works from his latest creations, such as Light Topography (Jane'sPool), where he created through LEDs lights a topographic relief on low resolution of swimmers evoking the movement of the waves and the depth of the seas or Blur, a LEDs panel showing the unedited video at a resolution of a scene from the streets of New York.
The exhibition highlights the installation Last Day in the Beginning of March, a piece of 26 bulbs that recreates the last day in the life of the brother of the artist. And Exploded View, a 3D constellation of more than 1,000 bulbs showing the pattern of movement of workers or the Home Movies 1040 series, where the artist, through a succession of frames at very low resolution home videos obtained on EBay a Led's screen whose works are examples of low resolution.
