Electromagnetogram

A recent transplant from Brooklyn, New York, Liz Liguori is currently a second year MFA student in Virginia Tech’s Creative Technology program were she is creating interactive light sculptures. Liguori earned her BA in 2001 from Drew University, and until her move to Lexington, Virginia in 2014; worked and made art both as a photographer and lighting designer in NYC.

In addition to her enrollment, Liguori has maintained lighting design projects in NYC, a part-time position for Washington & Lee University’s photography department, and has continued her on-going collaboration with artist Jessie Mann on their “Electromagnetograms” series.

The Electromagnetogram remixes traditional methods of darkroom photography by exposing photographic paper with laser light. Their process uses various prisms, optics, and liquids to diffract/refract the laser light to exposes the paper. Liguori and Mann developed the Electromagnetogram process for The Mountain Lake Workshop in 2011 where they collaborated with photographer Sally Mann, and were invited again in 2013. The Electromagnetograms have been included in various exhibits including the Taubman Museum’s Contemporary Gallery, the Reynold’s Gallery in Richmond, Virginia, and most recently at the Jordan Faye Contemporary in Baltimore, Maryland.
