Profile from MIT
Krzysztof Wodiczko (born 1943, Warsaw, Poland) has been creating site-specific slide and video projections both within galleries and using architectural facades and monuments as backdrops for nearly thirty years. These politically-charged works of art, which have been shown in over a dozen countries around the world, speak to issues of human rights, democracy, violence, alienation, and inhumanity, and using sound and motion often include testimonies of the people whose plights they address. Complementing these projections are Wodiczko’s nomadic instruments, designed to empower marginalized members of society such as immigrants, the homeless, these who lost their closest to street violence and war, women, and children-survivors of domestic abuse, the war veterans and others.
Krzysztof Wodiczko emigrated twice, from Poland to Canada and then from Canada to the United States. He now shares his time between New York and Cambridge, Massachusetts, where he is a professor a head of Interrogative Design Group, and a director of the Center for Advanced Visual Studies and the at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Public Art - one take
"Public Art is an interdisciplinary practice, one that refuses to settle as simply art or design. If design can be considered a form of practice that is usually conducted in response to a brief or a set of requirements, and if fine art is defined by its independence from such controls, then public art, in drawing on both approaches, can construct a series of differing responses to sites, forming a continuum of practice located between art and design. If designers are expected to provide solutions to problems, albeit creative ones within a given set of parameters, and artists are encouraged to rethink the terms of engagement, then public art practice, by operating in a place between them, is well positioned to address the procedures of both art and architecture."
--Jane Rendell, Critical Spatial Practice

Osman Akan
Osman Akan will give a presentation of his work in class on Thursday, September 16. He is currently in Denver for the installation of his public art commission Albedo at the Denver Botanic Gardens.
You can see images of the fabrication of his work here: flicker_set_demiurge
And here are a few images from the installation:
From his website:
Osman Akan was born on the Black Sea coast of Turkey. He has lived and worked in the United States since 1995. He received an MFA in Critical Studies and Integrated Media from California Institute of the Arts in 1998. Trained as a new media artist, Akan has been producing audio and video installations since 1997. In 2002, he started making prints of 3D modeled “virtual” sculptures. His growing interest in the tangibility of sculptural works in relation to virtual landscapes led to working with optical fibers in 2005. He installed his first large fiber optics work in 2006 in Franconia Sculpture Park. In 2007, Akan received a New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA) Individual Artist’s Grant to enable the realization of “The Third Bridge,” a commission for the 40th year celebrations of Arts in the NYC Parks. Akan received a site specific commission from Denver Office of Cultural Affairs in 2009 to install a large-scale permanent sculpture in the entrance atrium of the Denver Botanic Gardens. A professor of advanced computer graphics, Akan lives in Brooklyn, New York.
