Kerry Veenstra

Kerry Veenstra builds electronic installations that make numerical processes and visual perception tangible. His project archive includes displays concerned with wind, mortality and population growth. Imbalance presented counters for births and deaths at Burning Man in 2022; the artist’s later account documents its plywood construction, installation and removal. Persistence, created in 2023, was designed by Veenstra and Victoria Hollis, with additional construction and installation assistance named in the project account. It adapts Bill Bell’s Lightstick technique: images emerge from a vertical line of rapidly changing LEDs when viewers move their eyes. A sixty-four-inch display sits on a separate twenty-two-foot mast. Veenstra explicitly states that the planned interactive controls were unfinished for the 2023 presentation, distinguishing the realized visual effect from the more ambitious original design.
