Biography

See review


Tom Fitzgibbon has been making electronic art since grade school in California, producing odd assemblages of wood, computers, lights and wire. Projects at Carnegie Mellon University included neon fabrication, band lighting and theater lighting.


Some works are small Joseph Cornell sized painted boxes but also larger works including wall pieces, outdoor public art, display cases and store signs. With no formal art training, but surrounded by artist friends and family, this outsider artist tends to mirror street life with vibrant, saturated colors or quietly lit constructions with a variety of incandescent, LED, neon, laser and other light sources. For more information check the website tomfitzgibbon.com.

The pieces are dynamic (e.g., detecting faces and reacting), programmed (using Python or modified C language) or static. Some influences are Tinguely, Cornell, Turrell, Holzer, Corley, Burchfield and Miyajima.
