An exhibit in Lake George, New York might help you see the world from a very different perspective, thanks to a creative artist and digital technology.
Artist Khaila Batts of Queens, New York finds herself near the beginning of a bright career. That’s according to jurors selected by Lake George Arts Project, who chose Batts to be among just six artists this year to have their own solo show in the Courthouse Gallery. Jurors say they selected Batts’ works for the gallery walls based on her skills with color and perspective.
They had no idea about the surprise that awaits viewers with her artwork, when you bring an Apple iPhone into the gallery. Visitors are invited to consider, via access to a phone-enabled color inversion process, how perception is shaped by both technology and bias.
Spotlight producer Paul Larson spoke with Khaila Batts about her work, vividly saturated in color and meaning. They also talked about the interactive nature of her art.
Director of Exhibitions June Waters of Lake George Arts Project says she and her colleagues at the Courthouse Gallery are proud to host Batts’ first solo show.
