| “Eye of Texas,” 2007, an interactive digital video projection on the 85- foot tall Green Water Treatment Plant water tower, Austin |
| Exploring the spectrum of the human experience through film and art, he stretches the limits of visual media using found film montage, direct projection techniques, kinetic sets and sculptures, and unusual projection surfaces in unlikely environments.” Savisky earned his BFA from the University of Texas in Austin and has won many distinguished awards and grants, one being for his “Eye of Texas” in the First Night Austin arts festival in 2007 for which he won the Austin Critics’ Table Award for Best Individual Project. Savisky is the second artist to create a project for New Works, Jade Walker featured on Regularmain at this link, was the first in that series. |
