Alfred Smith

Conceptually, I choose to believe that all manifestations come from and return to sound and, at their most elegant vibrations (motion), are expressed as music. To express this idea, I work to further develop 3D Animation as a visual, calligraphic instrument through which I can play time and space with musicians. Working as a leader or member of an audio-visual band, I seek to create and perform in architectural environments, extending my use of animated calligraphic figures, projecting them onto and through space warp like domes, walls and corridors...the audience and band, moving in time with the music. Alfred received an MFA in Painting and Sculpture from Boston University in 1972 and an MA in Digital Art (3D Modeling & Animation), Maryland Institute College of Art, 1999.
