Light Art is the art of possibilities. In my view, during the last few decades light has increasingly become one of the most important artistic media due to the opto-electronic revolution and to the cooperation of artists, scientists and engineers. I have built my works, the holograms and the laser environment to be presented at NYBA, upon these results. In holography, I am first of all interested in those virtual possibilities which are hidden behind the basic magic of it: it means not reproduction, but visual creation. I am searching for those possibilities which are opened up only by holography. For example, the contestation of the spatial evidences (e.g., Spring for Voltaire), transparency of masses (Hun-Jarrya), floating/levitation (e.g., Light Calligraphies).I would like to show a multimedia light sculpture, mobile in time and space and accompanied by music, too. Today, drawing with light lines is almost magical. It is pulsating, alive, you see it being born from a point of light, the scale of the line drawing is expanded. These potentialities for me are inevitably contrasted with the start, the very beginning, the pictograph – with the drawing of the prehistoric age. These prehistoric drawings could be reinterpreted with light. They could become a virtual reality by which the space of a gallery could be turned into a light-bunting. A thoughtful experience is created which makes an unusual contrast between one of the world's most dynamical cities, New York, and the prehistoric paintings that were one of the first visual experiences of mankind.
