Generative+Video+Installation

Near the lounge area, in the main entrance of the in the lobby of Francis W. Parker school is a General Video Installation crated by famous Chicago artist Lincoln Shcatz. He presented his piece at a Morning Exercise on October 15th, 2010. This piece of art has been titled "Cluster" because it takes video clips and places the clips in random order. Cluster consists of a monitor, a video camera and a very powerful Mac computer with a very large hard drive. This hard drive contains all of the video clips that are recorded and placed in the random order that creates the art. Even if someone if sitting for five minutes, three of those five minutes could be randomly place them anywhere in the video composition. This piece will be here forever and will be recording video for the next six years, and has been recording video for the past two years. Throughout these years, people will be able to see the change of people who come in and out of the building. Schatz has not always been a video artist. He used to be a sculptor and photographer. In the year 2000 he made the change to becoming a "generative" video artist. Schatz was led into developing Generative Video Portraits in 2001 from a lifelong pursuit of photography. he has created many video pieces like this including portraits of celebrities like Lebron James, George Clooney, Danger Mouse, Marc Jacobs, M.I.A, and more. type of art medium how did it get here donated by basic interpretation what does the art mean to you sources
