"China Blue's work joins a larger movement in contemporary art that has returned to the subject matter of nature in an effort to find either new meaning or create new metaphors, except focuses on sustainability and the re-use of recyclable materials. .... China Blue's work emerges from the subjective-objective dichotomy ... that occurs through the creation of an action for every reaction." Jill Conner

RISCA Panel Says: The panel was unanimously enthusiastic about awarding this applicant the Fellowship Award. The Works employ technology in new and interesting ways and this application was the only one to explore robotics. The panel described this artist's integration of sculpture and technology as strong. China Blue is interested in data and how it shapes our lives. For over a decade and a half she has been immersed in creating sound art works that focus on data sonification and the hidden acoustics of our world like the sounds imbedded in the iron of the Eiffel Tower or submerged in Venice's water. Her more recent biomimetic work continues to embrace data sonification while highlighting the issues of global warming and its impact on our fragile ecosystem. Her work has been shown in museums galleries and non-profit spaces around the world. She is also the Founder and Executive Director of The Engine Institute www.TheEngineInstitute.org. |
