Hearing from Spencer Finch about his process behind "Bring me the sunset in a cup," one of the newest additions to MIT’s Public Art Collection and his process as an American artist whose works explore color, subjectivity, and perception in a variety of media-ranging from large-scale public projects to light installations and watercolors.
His material investigations are driven by what he has described as “the impossible desire to see oneself seeing.” Drawing on the artist’s decades-long explorations of light and color, Spencer Finch’s Percent-for-Art commission for the MIT Stephen A. Schwarzman College of Computing is a shimmering meditation on computing and human perception.
