lina Wilczynski is a creator-collaborator on a mission to transform innovators and passion-practitioners across disciplines — movement artists, musicians and athletes to physicists and ecologists — into docents to new realms of visual translation.
Interactive media is used together with traditional and experimental camera techniques to study fields of movement, energy, thought and emotional connectivity that exist beyond the visible spectrum in order to translate them into luminous form.
Client-partners include a growing list of pioneering entrepreneurs and businesses, cultural institutions, and schools wishing to engage a captive audience in new ways. Not just exhibits and talks, but unforgettable experiences that are revelatory, fun, hands-on and inclusive of all participants — all ages and abilities — as active learners and spontaneous creators.
Wilczynski leads professional development workshops, residencies, brand-ideation, public interactive events in open spaces, product launches and live performances. Always with the expressed goal of igniting curiosity, creativity and learning in the unsuspecting… in real time.
From music interpretation to brand culture to mountain biking, the sciences and physics to the world’s largest Tesla coil, the work and the art-making process together form a bridge to intuitive understanding and emotional connectivity.
Participants often remark that these experiences reveal to them a “deep essence of things” that they felt strongly about but haven’t otherwise had the words or medium to express so elegantly and succinctly before.
These responses serve as fuel for continued studies and attempts to visualize currents of thought and emotion in three-dimensional space with movement trails and the interplay of light, color and sound.
Wilczynski derives from the word wilk meaning “wolf”. And the Slavic and Greek origins for Alina mean “light.”
My fantasy-adventure namesake Alina in the novel and Netflix series “Shadow and Bone” possesses a superpower, the ability to summon light! So it seems pre-destined that I would use light as my medium and the darkness as my canvas. And my superpower, if I were to identify one, would be the ability to summon the light from others.
“For the rest of my life I will reflect on what light is.”
