Tal and Omer Golan are a married duo of artists working together to create interactive works that display a blend of fine art and technology. They encourage audience participation in order to build awareness of social issues. They currently live in and make work in New York. Their work is new-media and visually based that has been exhibited in group and solo exhibitions and festivals all around the world. Tal and Omer Golan’s work explores multiple forms of digital arts while exhibiting advanced ideas about electronic components and the society.
I found Tal & Omer Golan’s work to be compelling because of the relationship the viewer can experience with the work. Some of their works are literally interactive, such as Tel Aviv by bike. I like that they are making work that is interactive when so much art nowadays is just viewed upon a gallery wall. I understand that work on a gallery wall is meant to be viewed and individually interpreted, but like seeing interactive work in a gallery because it is not often seen.
I enjoy the interactive piece, Tel Aviv by bike, because it is unique compared to modern art today. I like how the piece takes the viewer to somewhere outside of the gallery space and puts them in control of what happens with the artwork. Human interaction is the only thing that makes the artwork change, and it is fun to watch the videos of children experiencing the work. Making Love: Poetry In Motion is a more recent work of Tal and Omer Golan's. This piece of digital, new-media art work pulls together live tweets containing the work "love" and reads them on a website in order to create an endless poem. I was compelled to this piece of art because of how interesting the site looks, and also because of the concept. I had not experienced a site that utilized Twitter before, so seeing how the site worked and listening to the poem was compelling.
