Chris Coleman Incident Report

Chris Coleman has an edgy style with a message. Chris is concerned about the amount of industrial pollution that is effecting the eco-system of our planet. He has created some interesting works of art. I liked Colusion, a film of a smokestack breathing the pollution back in. His work makes a person think about the amount of pollution that is spewed into the air every day. In his work Spatiodynamic Chris used fans under a sheet to create shapes that were controlled by a computer. Coleman said that information divides, by this I think he means that people with access to information oppress those without.
The work EDU is constructed on a 15x15 foot grid with 1.5x1.5 foot blocks, one of the questions he asks is do people living close together with no green space have a lower standard of living. In this work images ate replaced in slow motion and the result is a image of a nuclear attack. At the end Coleman stated that we need to re-access our safety systems and understand our collective investment and analyze vectors of progress and power
