3 Installation Artists

A few posts ago I added Blu Blu. I really like how he combines animation and Graffiti. I don't know many installation artists from the top of my head (most of them I have learned about in this class)so on break I did some research on different artists to find some that were relevant to what we were doing in class and some that I liked personally. So here are a few:

Here is a piece by several artists to raise awareness about sustainability. It is by the artists Jack Sanders, Robert Gay, and Butch Anthony. It uses solar power to represent the availability of renewable energy resources and recycled bottles to promote the ease of recycling.









The next installation artist I chose was Eduardo Srur. Srur is from Brazil and after a major cleanup of one of the most polluted rivers in Brazil Srur put these giant soda bottles along the river to raise awareness that the people in cars along the highway were polluting the river. Here is a video and some images.










And here is an installation that I personally think is clever and I like. Antoinette J. Citizen did this Super Mario Bros. themed installation with interactive boxes that made sound effects from the video game. I have fond memories of playing this game as I am sure many of you do.
