Electronic Naturalism
"Electronic Naturalism" explores the Qi of life that flows through people, birds, and circuits alike. My art combines beautiful sculpture with analog electrical engineering to make circuits that generate energetic waveforms. Life-like electronic devices inspire dialogue about consciousness and foster radical empathy for diverse organisms.
Kelly Heaton
Kelly Heaton is a cross-disciplinary artist, electrical engineer, and visionary of contemporary culture. She believes that electricity is the most important creative medium of our time and uses it to explore biological and artificial lifeforms. Her art combines electrical engineering with nature, spirituality, sculpture, painting, printmaking, design, and fashion. Heaton enlarges electronic devices to a human scale so that people can relate with circuits as a reflection of who we are. She also makes beautiful, functional circuits that mimic songbirds and insects with an uncanny life-like quality. Heaton aims to humanize tech culture and heal our relationship with nature through dialogue about the universal circuit in which we are all connected.
