Illuminations · Claudia Hart
Illuminations presents a diverse body of work that pulls from Claudia Hart's vast library of decorative patterns and icons, incorporating heraldry, corporate logos, emoji, mathematical signs, decorative alphabets, and tile patterns. Hart animates these symbols using algorithmic patterns that flicker, sometimes regularly and sometimes randomly, like techniques used by hypnotists. Works feature video installations in decorated wooden frames combining handwork, photography, and computer-controlled printing. The exhibition includes legacy pieces (2002–2019) and recent work from three series: Memory Theaters, Fallen Angels, and Proxy Angels. The centerpiece, The Days, is a collaborative algorithmic work projecting real-time animations of medicinal wildflowers onto an 8-foot tondo, creating evolving organic abstractions that reset daily with new species.
