Kit Webster, in this Hugo Create article, describes himself as an audiovisual artist, new-media artist and light sculptor. He uses technology heavily, making it a vital part of his art identity. His often large installations employ LEDs and LCD screens running various visual programs and patterns along with sounds and music. In the video below, Webster's Prismatica installation is demonstrated, with a repeating visual program running on an LCD TV with prisms distorting the image into fractals:
Much of Webster's work is focused on innovation and the future, pushing boundaries and using new tech in new ways to make new kind of art. In the article he says:
"I have visions about highly detailed sonic and visual environments that are presented within the gallery space. Imagine some of the incredible light shows you have seen at nightclubs involving lasers , lighting and video, Take this and focus more on color and geometric patterning.It would be almost like decoding the mathematics of the space."
He also discusses the role of science and analysis in his work. The cognitive process and exercise of analysis shows itself in his work, as Webster develops his understanding of light and space using his art. He even mentions how the gallery space felt, at times, felt more like a laboratory. Webster's interdisciplinary approach, reaching from many fields to create interesting and new forms of expression and communication, heralds a growing movement where people from all disciplines become more actively involved in creating art.
