New Media Artist # 10 Rafael Lozano-Hemmer

What I like the most about Vectorial Elevation is how "big" of a project it is. I am certain a considerable amount of funds were needed to construct this project. In addition, there is use of technology that I had not read about in new media art, but was already familiar with, like global positioning satelites. I also like that there is such a wide majority that can appreciate this art inside of the space it exists. Most new media art is either created on or exists on the web. Contrary to what some parents may think, we cannot live on the web. The space where Vectorial Elevation was created was a public square.
The feature that allows people to arrange their own sequence with the lights reminds me of the Telegarden. Having an online queue is a good way ordering who's design is next to be displayed.
