Fremont Street Experience in Las Vegas—2009

“In 2009, for ‘The Summer of ’69,’ for the Fremont Street Experience in Las Vegas, I was hired to paint busses, and also created a seven-minute film for a canopy. I animated a collage of drawings incorporated with shapes, in layers of color, with LED lights, for a 1,500-foot canopy that fit over a street. All of this stuff out of my Apple PowerBook from my archive was simulated into this collage, so for the first time I was seeing the idea that you could pile stuff up and actually get it to move, animate. It was amazing. You could sit and look at these layers. With a computer, I can have my work static or moving, which is wonderful.”
