Brien Knep

Brien Knep
New Media Artist

Questions About: Healing Pools and Artificial Intelligence ... Is there any part of these installations that have to do with
restorative healing ..they seem to talk about layering, scabs that grow over wounds and then heal.

Artificial intelligence has the implication of implanting an artificial sector to a wounded intelligence.

The pool of healing seems as if it is tactile but has only glass and hard surfaces...how is this in step with sensory motor
stimulations that are soft and healing...smell, touch that is soft, sounds.

Review of Brien Knep: It seems as if his work is breaking into communicating a message to the traditional world that
brain damage is able to be healed. Labels that were formally reviled as uncurable are displayed in his new media as
openly curable. He seems to be addressing current issues that are important to the field of healing arts, especially
soldiers who have PTST .
My favorite work of art of Brien Kneps are the frogs and the little folk floating...as if the folk floating are small molecules
and parameceum (sp?). He seems to reach his audience...and others that might be aesthetically interested in his work.
