Golan Levin: Art that looks back at you: Inspiration!



"Golan Levin, an artist and engineer, uses modern tools -- robotics, new software, cognitive research -- to make artworks that surprise and delight. Watch as sounds become shapes, bodies create paintings, and a curious eye looks back at the curious viewer"

This weekend, I spent some of my time perusing TED Talks that involve the arts.
In this video, Golan Levin shows us several projects that he has worked on that involve the use of technology intermixed with the visual.

What is even more curious is that these "art" pieces could very well be useful in other fields.

How might these technologies give us a closer look at how we perceive, how we interact with our environments, our own gaze? How we define every day life?

In addition, technological art form in these examples pave a path for integrated arts studies. How might programs similar to Levin's be used for learning?
