![]() Chris Landau's Art & Design Portfolio Whether I am in a gallery or working for a client, I examine the human quest for information. I am interested in how and why humans collect this precious commodity. Key elements such as mystery, legibility, and complexity seem to pull our curiosity towards an experience of an engaged learning process. My work is always mindful of how these elements function together to stay engaged with my audience. My process has a strong basis in traditional visual media such as drawing, painting, and sculpture, but my continued attention lies at the new edge of media frontiers such as Web 2.0, interactive graphics, 3D modeling, physical computing, GPS, biotechnology, contemporary art, science fiction, and cognitive science. I take a uniquely mixed approach towards old and new mediums and to the diversity of solutions that can be generated from dynamic networks of tools and ideas. My interests have led me to strange solutions. In my portfolio you will find drawings, murals, multilinear narrative, interactive installations, a virtual pop-up book, database visualization, educational software, and web portfolios for artists. While I often curse my inability to fit into either a round or square hole, I hope my novel shape will allow me to fit into places made just for me. |
