Pixel Jamming
Being a visual artist often
means isolation - working alone for long hours in a studio.
Stephanie Slade, president of SLADE Graphics, a Los Angeles-
based electronics design company, wants to change that.
Slade has recently founded the International Painting
Interactive (IPI) project, which hangs global electronic
canvases on the Net, allowing artists from many cities
to work together on joint digital paintings. The additions
of each artist appear on the screen of every other participant.
IPI was demonstrated at Chicago's SIGGRAPH '92, when a
hundred painters, video artists, graphic designers, and
musicians in fourteen cities around the world worked together
for 44 hours, creating numerous digital paintings.
IPI allows visual artists to work synergistically with
one another - an advantage that performance artists have
always enjoyed. Slade explains that "visual artists,
like musicians, can now jam together and express themselves
in a collaborative spirit."
Slade, who won an Emmy for graphic design in 1986, (for
the opening of the new Love American Style), is currently
working with an organization called Knowledge Recovery
Foundation International. She wants to generate another
interactive project that will focus on indigenous cultures,
to be presented in March 1994 at the first International
Environmental Film Festival in New York City. "The
digital drums," Slade says, "will be beating
in the global village on those magical days." SLADE
Graphics: +1 (310) 278 3710.
