Human Factors, 2014

Exhibition at Chicago Artist Coalition, Chicago, IL

Human Factors, a solo exhibition by BOLT resident Kim Harty, uses motion tracking devices to capture the artist’s making process. Utilizing glass, along with motion capture technology, chronophotography and projection, Harty deconstructs the performance of her artmaking. In industrial processes “human factors” are analyzed and optimized to make production ever efficient. How does this efficiency imperative function within the artist’s studio, and what are the human factors governing the production of art? Harty answers this query through prints, sculpture, and installation.
