The Hammer Museum, located right in Westwood, holds the perfect example of technology's influence on art.
At the entrance of the museum, there was a vibrant exhibit (depicted below). The exhibit is centered around environmental sustainability, displaying the phrases "Water Is Life," "Tierra y Tiberad," and "Mni Wiconi." The vibrant colors, variation in font, and creative placement of the words drew me to this exhibit. I thought that the mix of colors against the black background made the piece especially appealing to the eye and attracted my attention. All three of the phrases are made of cardboard and lit up by LED lights. Combining the factor of lighting technology made the piece all the more intriguing.

The display at the Hammer Museum reminded me of the Museum of Neon Art (MONA). This museum, packed with art lit up in neon colors, is the perfect example of the combination between art and technology. The bright colors draw attention to the work and offer a new take on art. It is an interesting break from flat pieces will duller shades. The way the words and phrases have a three-dimensional quality to them make observing the pieces an exciting experience different from most museum visits. I really enjoyed my visit to Hammer and, after exploring other art incorporating light, would love to go MONA one day as well.
