Glimmerloom is a multimedia installation by Dave Greber and Sophia Belkin.
Inspired by the visual language of interfaces, circuit boards, and shadow boxes, the resulting facade blurs the line between the natural and the artificial. As the digital realm encroaches upon the biological, and the distinction between reality and fiction is lost. Glimmerloom explores the intersection of these converging worlds.
This is their 5th large-scale installation project.
Supported by a Professional Development Grant for adjunct faculty from the Center for Innovation, Research, and Creativity in the Arts (CIRCA) at UMBC.
