Piece description from the artist
The colorful “Birefringent Plastics” series began when Jonathan observed a single glint of light bouncing off a pair of sunglasses, before he crafted and recorded it as art. This piece is a composite of two photos of the same GoPro acrylic packaging – photographed in from of an LCD monitor through a polarizing filter. The light changes polarization in the acrylic differently depending on the color of the light resulting in a dynamic colorful image.
As a scientist and mathematician, Jonathan has a unique way of looking at the world. He finds inspiration for his art by looking at the beauty of everyday objects from an atypical perspective. The colorful “Birefringent Plastics” series began when he observed a single glint of light bouncing off a pair of sunglasses, before he crafted and recorded it as art.
Jonathan’s art and designs have been featured internationally in a diverse range of publications and museums, including the Design Museum in Gent, Belgium, “The Art and Science of Spirals” and the journal of the Hungarian Physics Society. Jonathan recently collaborated on a dynamic digital art piece installed at 55 Hudson Yards.
