Los Angeles Center for Digital Art presents “Electric Abstractions” a traveling exhibition from the San Luis Obispo Museum of Art (SLOMA) featuring the works of Daniel Leighton and Jayne Behman. They are both California contemporary artists who use technology to create their work.
Daniel Leighton is an Augmented Reality pioneer. His Augmented Reality iPad paintings focus on the importance of identifying, expressing and acknowledging emotions. He creates emotional portraits with simple lines and brilliant colors to capture complex states of the human psyche, while exploring the possibilities of technology and human emotion being harnessed for the greater good. Leighton adds Augmented Reality (AR) to his paintings by combining his backgrounds in filmmaking and computer programming. Using the Daniel Leighton Art + AR app, viewers can experience additional dimensions of Daniel’s AR-enhanced paintings.
Jayne Behman substituted her brick and mortar studio with her iPad years ago to be able to create anywhere, anytime; without borders. It is on the technology "canvas" that she processes her Marks. Using a combination of Apps her paintings reflect her vision of a world reacting to change.
