The work of Ginny Ruffner, artist
Originally inspired by interviews with genetic researchers, Poetic Hybrids combines real-time human creation with augmented reality to illustrate improbable hybrids as holograms. This project gives the public an opportunity to influence the creation of holographic sculptures, first by choosing the components and then by ‘painting’ on the holograms. The installation kicked off at the Seattle Art Museum, then toured the country. Click below to visit the two-minute documentary.
To celebrate the life of arts patron Mary Shirley, Seattle Art Museum commissioned Ruffner to create a place at Olympic Sculpture Park to rest, reflect, and enjoy the park. The nature of the sculpture invites people enjoying the surroundings to interact, so we created a time-lapse video.
Ruffner created a 20' x 10' computerized display of Northern Lights using 34,000 LED lights and AI. The piece debuted at the Bainbridge Art Museum during her career retrospective and has since been permanently installed at the National Nordic Museum.
Commissioned in 2011, Ruffner created a massive set of animated flowers blooming on a 15-minute cycle. To capture the piece and its presence, we created a time-lapse video for her site.
Originally commissioned for the façade of a Seattle bank building, three wings were permanently fixed to the exterior of the Tacoma Art Museum in 2019. We captured the installation with time-lapse footage to show the scale and technical complexity of Ruffner's site.
