Art in the Open Survey

This is Karl Ramberg: he is a visual artist and musician who often creates works involving both disciplines. As a visual artist he creates rather free form expressions, think of visual jazz, but he also creates installations such as musical scores made of birch trees. He creates interdisciplinary works involving computers, cellos, guitars, keyboards, scientists, subatomic particles and other things.

Here is an example of some of Karl's work . . . copy this URL and follow the link to a youtube video

he is also experimenting now with dipping drumsticks into paint and playing on canvas covered drums. . . .

This is Paul Hotvedt: he is a visual artist and musician but he usually keeps these two things separate. His visual art is representational, sometimes conceptual, specializing in landscape and portraiture, but he likes to talk about the ideas and the science behind them. His conceptual work is interdisciplinary and involves other people. As a musician he plays percussion, keyboard, guitar, and fiddle.

There are some samples of Paul's work at www.paulhotvedt.com. He is also playing a lot of grunge guitar and Irish fiddle.
