Experience Jim Campbell: Rhythms of Light, an Innovative Retrospective of Light Art and Digital Sculpture

This exhibition showcases the first retrospective in Spain of artist Jim Campbell, an innovator in light experimentation. It features artworks that explore movement, low resolution, light, abstraction, perception, space, and memory, utilizing video art and light techniques.

The 'Jim Campbell. Rhythms of Light' exhibition presents a comprehensive retrospective of the acclaimed artist Jim Campbell, a pioneer in light experimentation. The collection delves into themes of movement, low resolution, abstraction, perception, space, and memory, featuring 27 artworks that combine video art with light techniques. Campbell, an artist and electronic engineer, utilizes LED light technology to create interactive installations, giving visitors a unique insight into the world of light sculptures. His works, which often reduce image elements to a minimum, challenge viewers' perceptive abilities and explore the principles of visual coherence and interpretation. The exhibition highlights specific pieces such as 'Light Topography (Jane’s Pool)', 'Blur', 'Last Day in the Beginning of March', 'Exploded View', and the 'Home Movies 1040' series, demonstrating Campbell's mastery in manipulating electronic systems to evoke profound visual and sensory experiences. Jim Campbell, born in Chicago in 1956, holds degrees in Electrical Engineering and Mathematics from MIT. His artistic practice merges scientific knowledge with artistic creation, focusing on the digital transformation of data into art. His work is recognized for its innovative use of LEDs, LCDs, monitors, and television screens to create evocative and provocative images that question how we perceive visual information. Campbell's approach is influenced by concepts like Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle, exploring how context shapes perception and how the brain reconstructs images from limited data. The exhibition, held in collaboration with Dundee Contemporary Arts, also includes a catalogue with critical essays and an image recognition app for deeper engagement with the artworks.

This exhibition is open from Monday to Thursday and Friday from 10:00 to 20:00, and Saturday, Sunday, and holidays from 11:00 to 20:00.
