An amazing digital artist (and I
really mean digital in that he uses the computer as his tool) used to
participate in the nation's art fairs. He took top prizes everywhere he went. About five years ago he dropped out to see if he could make it in another arena. It is no surprise to those of us who saw his work to read about his success. Read below and be inspired. From Kenneth Huff: Last week, during the 2009 Ars Electronica Festival in Austria, one of my time-based works was shown, accompanied by the Bruckner Orchester Linz. The concerto for piano, "Lousadzak (The Coming of Light)" by Alan Hovahness, was conducted by Dennis Russell Davis, with Maki Namekawa on piano. The piece was very well-received by the festival audience. There is a brief clip on my blog from the final rehearsal and a photo from the performance:

An installation photo and links to the exhibition pages can be found here:

Thanks for posting this, Connie! I really miss seeing Ken and his wonderful digital art at the shows. He has educated all of us about the incredible possibilities in the world of digital art. I will never forget his fabulous presentation at the NAIA Directors Conference in Mpls. a few years ago. I am not surprised but very excited to see him swimming with the big fishes, internationally. Well deserved, Ken!!!
