Central at McDowell
Admission is Free - Everyone is Welcome
"Steinkamp uses digital projection to transform space, providing the viewer with experiences that are fantastic. While her career began with brightly
colored abstract projections, she has increasingly incorporated nature based imagery into her work -- gnarled trees that twist, turn, and change seasons. In doing so, she has brought digital art into the mainstream of contemporary art. Her use of vernacular imagery and her embrace of beauty result in mesmerizing environments that some say reference the sublime. Like her art historical precedents, Steinkamp conveys the magnitude and power of nature. Most importantly, she has the power to communicate with a broader public and to convert a more traditional audience, familiar with the use of computer graphics only for video games into a constituency appreciative of its other creative applications."
