One of today's foremost artists working in the Northwest, Jack Dollhausen is one of the early proponents of computerized art. Dollhausen has dedicated a lifetime to creating what he refers to as "machines," computerized sculptural assemblages that react to the environment or the presence of a viewer through the utilization of motion, light, and sound. From 1970 to the present, Dollhausen has created intriguing, often humorous sculptures that actively engage the viewer. This publication explores his creativity through 26 dynamic sculptures that convert the normal functions of electricity into elaborate statements of musical and interactive complexity. Internationally recognized, Dollhausen's work has been shown throughout the United States and Europe. Aden Ross is professor of English at the University of Utah, Salt Lake City.

An artist and an inventor,
By gojobooks (Louisiana, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Jack Dollhausen: A 30 Year Start (Paperback)
This is a wonderful book about a genius that was both engineer and artist. His creations are imaginative and causes one to sit and stare at a page for a long time, wondering, "just HOW did he do that?" Enjoy his creations and give your brain a little teaser on each page.

Classic LED Art!,

This review is from: Jack Dollhausen: A 30 Year Start (Paperback)
Dollhausen's been doing this since the 70's, apparently: wiring up chips and led's into beautiful sculptures. Of course, these days he uses Pic chips.
The book has a dozen or two beautiful pictures of his works. Glorious!
