VJ Pablo • Media Artist/Designer

I'm an avant garde multi-media artist/illustrator/ photographer with a fine art degree in Drawing and Photography. At first I learned how to turn form with illustration then with a single line as with scientific illustration. Next I worked on how to turn form with a single line of light. With that understanding and experience the next step was to surround the dancer with multiple projection points of light. At no point is photography ever utilized, only etched, solid and hand painted lines.
Several Reviews:
San Francisco Chronicle; Heuwell Tircuit;
“....Ackerman has dutifully mastered Alwin Nicolais’s technique... ”
The Seattle Times; Carol Beers,
“...References to Alwin Nicolais’s multimedia experiments came thick and fast.”
It was not until being heavily reviewed in San Francisco and being compared to Nicolais that he became aware of Nicolais integration of dancer theater and multi media projections.
