Shadow

On the Paintings of Laszlo Szotyori

Laszlo Szotyori: Station Hall

Dazzling lightfall

pink vision upstairs

uncertain blue

shy yellow beneath

hesitant existence

of statuesque man-ghosts

in the shadow of light

Laszlo Szotyori: The Evening

Voiceless pointless

is the plane floating

in the landscape

its black shadow a gap

in the last ray of the sun

remotely a light clearing

further trees and the sea

oh the tired blue of the sky

the silent breath of the water

the black body of the plane

the mass of closed passengers

Laszlo Szotyori: The Meeting of Giants

In the flame of the church

in the light of faith hope love

humility and offering

is the plane bathing

suddenly

it comes to a halt

would stop for a prayer

E-static shadows

There is a hidden electrostatic world around us, surrounding our everyday interactions.

A young textile artist Zane Berzina is working on intelligent textile systems, which would be capable of detecting this energy and translating it into dynamic audio-visual patterns. She also studies the possible translation of e-static energy into other types of energy such as light, sound and motion.

Equipped with tiny LED lights, transistors and woven electronic circuits integrated into the electronic textiles structure, the material is able to create transient shadows on the textile display in areas which detect a presence of electrostatic fields.
