Artist Post

 Laslo Moholy-Nagy was a very strong believer in modern art and using to turn artists into designers.  He also encouraged people to experiment with the new media of photography in order to break artists out of their traditional methods. His interest in the interaction of space time and light helped him in creating his works of art.



Laslo Moholy-Nagy explores the optical effects of objects and is a strong advocate of the integration of technology and industry into the arts. He creates kinetic light sculptures in order to display the trajectory presented by an object in motion. His work was some of the first of its kind in the new age of digital art and took that age in a new direction by showing people what you can achieve with light, glass, and a camera.

I really like how his work seems like something out of a crazy dream, but he managed to create this illusion through real world objects. I found some of my favorite pieces on the website below. These pieces show that he used a variety of mediums to display illusions. However, the most captivating of his art is his moving art in which he creates glass structures and shines light through at different angles in order to create the illusion of movement.
