Stained Glass Video Impressions

Yukon, Canada

Jon Gelinas uses images, sound and light to tell stories and share emotions. His work in visual communications as an educator, designer and technologist has been featured on screen, posters and installations throughout the Yukon over the last 18 years. 

A lover of the intersection between art and technology, Jon Gelinas’ creations seek to connect with viewers on an emotional level, skewing perception to take people out of their current moment and transport them somewhere magical.

This installation project explores video through an impressionist lens. Using a light diffusing screen over an undescribed video, sectioned off “stained glass” areas will capture colours and movement to express the depiction of light in its changing qualities over time. Through this effect, the viewer gets to understand the emotion, colour palette and flow of the video while never knowing the source images.
