Jennifer: "Jimmy Carter" is a site-specific video installation that fills large walls of the gallery; thousands of computer synthesized flowers swing back and forth. The flowers create an illusion where the space seems to dematerialize. It feels as though the walls are moving along with the flowers. The work is synthesized with software; it never existed in reality, only as code. The striped imagery transforms the architecture, while in turn the art is transformed by the same architecture. This creates an experience for the viewer, in-between a real and imaginary space. Steinkamp has come back to these particular ideas over and again in various installations. Her artwork utilizes computer animation to craft immersive interactive projection installations. Three-dimensional computer graphics are the basis of her animation; animation that takes full advantage of the computer's ability to create motion and points of view that are not available by any other means.
