yochai matos: light installations


‘sunset’, 2007

yochai matos is a tel aviv based artist who creates unique installations made primarily using fluorescent
tube lights. using the ubiquitous piece of hardware, matos uses it as a sculpting medium by arranging
the lights in unusual formations that remove them from their original use. matos’ works also utilize
colour to add another almost painterly quality to his projects. matmos also creates non-light based
pieces that range from collage, photography and public interventions including his you’ve got mail
project which placed 24,000 heart-shaped stickers on mailboxes in tel aviv.

i would like to know if he uses green energy to power his ego! art shouldn't contribute to our climate crisis
Q   01.02.10
I like his light works, but didn't get the mailbox thing!?

Maybe its something like Shepard fairey and his Andre the giant

AS FOR CLIMATE ISSUES:
A fluorescent lamp converts electrical power into useful light more efficiently than an incandescent lamp. Lower energy cost typically offsets the higher initial cost of the lamp.
Answer for Q   01.04.10
i liked it ,strange and nice
Nuha   01.05.10
yes nate, because that's all there is to art -- expression of ego. /sarcasm moron.
