Join us throughout the festival beginning Sat April 24, for a series of conversations with various participating Fusebox artists.  It’s a casual/fun way to get to know the artists and the thinking behind their work.  In conjunction with Culturebot.org (NYC), the conversations will last under an hour--we hope you can join us. 

THURSDAY, APRIL 29th: LUKE SAVISKY

Luke Savisky’s multi-media performances have transformed natural and architectural settings worldwide for audiences from 1 to 50,000, exploring the limits of visual media through the use of manual film montage, mobile projection, kinetic sculpture, 3D projection surfaces, live music, choreography and performers in unique and unlikely environments. His work includes I/Tx (The I/Eye of Texas), an interactive projection of viewer’s eyes onto an 85ft water tower in downtown Austin, TX and a twenty story 35mm live architectural film montage interacting with building climbers for First Night Austin. Savisky was chosen as official media artist for the 2005 Sundance Film Festival and is the recipient of numerous awards and grants including: The Texas Filmmakers Production Fund, the Austin Film Society’s 1st D. Montgomery Award, and the 2007 Austin Table of Critics Award for Best Individual Project. Savisky was also nominated for the first Arthouse Texas Prize and the Rockefeller Foundation New Media Grant.
