Jim Campbell’s custom electronic sculptures and installations have made him a leading figure in the use of computer technology as an art form. Campbell's work is unique in that his media and message are inseparable. He uses technologies developed for information transfer and storage to explore human perception and memory.The artist’s work typically involves pixelated representations created with grids of LEDs, which have such low perceived resolution as to defy comprehension. Exploring the line between representation and abstraction, Campbell plumbs the human ability to interpret the information necessary to create a complete idea. His exploration of the distinction between the analogue world and its digital representation metaphorically parallels the difference between the poetic understanding of knowledge versus the mathematics of data.
