OBSERVE

Art Installation - Motorola Solutions - 2024

Traditional landscape painting, particularly in the process of learning how to master it, is fundamentally about learning how to see. It involves a deep, attentive observation of the landscape. This practice of keen observation holds a profound relevance to the field of design.

In human-centered design, the importance of observation and listening is paramount for creating exceptional products. This ability to observe, refined through the practice of landscape painting, becomes a critical skill.

This installation seeks to merge these concepts, illustrating the power of listening and observing in both a visual and conceptual context. The paintings are adorned with QR codes that link to an application featuring a Bingo game. This game serves as a satirical critique of the language often used around art, further emphasizing the theme of observation.

The installation weaves together multiple dialogues about art, design, and the critical role of observation, allowing these conversations to unfold and intertwine simultaneously.
