One of todayís foremost artists working in the Northwest, Jack Dollhausen is one of the early proponents of computerized art. Dollhausen has dedicated a lifetime to creating what he refers to as "machines," computerized sculptural assemblages that react to the environment or the presence of a viewer through the utilization of motion, light, and sound. From 1970 to the present, Dollhausen has created intriguing, often humorous sculptures that actively engage the viewer. This publication explores his creativity through 26 dynamic sculptures that convert the normal functions of electricity into elaborate statements of musical and interactive complexity. Internationally recognized, Dollhausenís work has been shown throughout the United States and Europe.

In the Abstract: Wilfred Davis Fletcher Collection: Paintings, Sculpture, Prints, Ceramics, Glass, Works on Paper

Deriving inspiration from his studies of light, color, dimension, space, and perception, artist Stephen Knapp has created an eighty-foot multi-dimensional composition of light in the Boise Art Museum's Sculpture Court. The artist’s site-specific Lightpainting embodies a unique and original form of art that integrates sculptural, architectural and visual elements to transform the environment. This exhibition is the third exhibition featured in BAM’s Threads of Perception Series. Lightpaintings are an outgrowth of Knapp’s longtime interest in various media including photography, ceramics, and kiln-formed glass. In his work he achieves the perceptual presence of such artists as Robert Irwin and James Turrell. Recent exhibitions have been presented at the Butler Institute of American Art, Youngstown, Ohio , and the Chrysler Museum of Art, Norfolk, Virginia
