This is the video of my most recent work, installed in February 2013 it is an abstraction of barnacle life forms that glow and respond via interactivity. A special thank you to Gallery 825, James Mills for this video and all the love and support of my family & friends. Music: "Like An Eagle" by The Mighty Oaks mightyoaksmusic.com
James Peterson's artwork explores sustainability through the relationship between organic life-forms and man-made materials.
The Sessilanoid Collection was inspired by the concept of android barnacles tessellating onto a surface to create luminous patterns. It is an interactive piece that allows patrons to change the color and light sequence and thus, the experience.
