Artist Statement
‘Chromatic Convergence’ marries the tangible with the digital in a symphony of light and motion, encapsulating a living dialogue between the observer and the artwork. Encased in translucent cubes, hues shift in response to human interaction, weaving a visual narrative of color and life. This interplay transcends the physical, extending into the digital realm where virtual counterparts mirror and amplify the dance of colors, creating a seamless fusion of reality and imagination.
This installation is an evolving piece, poised to expand the breadth of interaction and enhance its virtual dimensions. This commitment to growth underscores ‘Chromatic Convergence’s’ essence: a collaborative exploration between participants and the art itself. It is a journey of discovery that blurs the lines between the seen and unseen, inviting participants to become co-creators. Their movements orchestrate a harmony of overlapping colors, transforming abstract imagery into a unified visual spectacle.
At its core, ‘Chromatic Convergence’ invites each observer into a unique journey, an experience defined by the user’s interaction. It is a testament to the fluidity of artistic expression, a narrative that continues to unfold with the ever-shifting boundary between the physical and digital—a space where art lives, breathes, and grows with its audience.”
Bio
Victor J. Quintana Ramos, an artist at the nexus of art and engineering, delves into the theme of interconnectedness with transmedia installations that illuminate universal bonds. His debut, ‘RGBeans,’ showcased at Dadageek during Austin’s 2019 Studio Tour, combined reactive audiovisuals with interactive engagement, reflecting on our environmental footprint. In 2023, his collaboration with Aline Smithson, ‘Conversations with the Past’ at The Brand Library & Art Center, wove personal narratives with technology, enabling audiences to traverse time through interactive storytelling.
His latest work introduces sensor-equipped cubes that, through audience engagement, align disparate visual narratives across color spectrums, challenging conventional perceptions of space and materiality. This initiative underscores Victor’s dedication to participatory art, extending the photographic medium’s boundaries and celebrating communal discovery’s transformative potential.??Based in Austin, TX, Victor’s work encourages a deep dive into the myriad connections that shape our world. By merging innovative design with a keen exploration of the human condition, he invites viewers to navigate the intertwined stories of science, art, and the cosmos, underscoring our collective narrative’s complexity.
