Pictures from this exhibition - Pixel art, jigsaw do-it-yourself, top left. Top right - Treachery of Sanctuary - there is a pool of water behind the screen to keep participants away from the actual screen. Left, participant extends her arms to create WINGS!

Sunday the sun shines and I am encouraged to venture out for some other art. This trek to Fort Mason features the Creator’s Project, a free exhibition that has traveled the world -Paris, Sao Paulo, Beijing, NYC - sponsored by Intel and some other digital company. There are the expected video games, which strikes me as an engineer’s game, way out of an artistic realm. (They did have a link to Luminosity, which occasionally I play to keep my brain oiled. And there was a huge puzzle with multi colored pixels to arrange on a board.) Or did Michelangelo feel as challenged to learn how to apply gesso or sculpt a piece of marble? Maybe I am just showing my age.

Then at the back of the warehouse are three huge screens, with shadows of flocks of black birds randomly flying down and to the top of the screen. The far screen shows a huge blackbird, fanning its wing. Upon further investigation, the birds’ flight is triggered by three interactive folk moving their hands and arms behind the screen. A camera catches their movements and triggers the various bird formations.) A giant sized version of angry birds, I wonder?? I am aware of the game, but have never seen it.

End of Part One - Because I have more pictures. . . We all like pictures
