Poptics

Artist Burton Morris builds on the tradition of Pop Art masters of the 1960's and 70's. His art portrays everyday ideas and objects, transforming popular culture icons into thought provoking works of fine art. His distinctive style is characterized by radiant black outlines and vivid colors that emit energy and optimism in all of his artwork. The aim of this project is to combine Burton Morris's works with technology to create a high art exhibit. In what ways might Burton's images become infused with motion and interactivity? In what ways might his works be transformed into kinetic art? The semester process will focus on working with Burton Morris and iterating across various ideas and concepts that would create interactive, immersive experiences that incorporate his artistic style and vision.
