Marlene Krueger | Kinetic Light Art | Monterey Seascapes

Marlene Krueger, who did a prototype with light prototype, shares and work with Professor Don Seiden in a class setting one of her ideas on how others can benefit with light. How by working with others and sharing the knowledge of light and it's therapeutic effects on people's well being will make life much tolerable.
Prof. Don Sieden and Marlene Krueger discover ways to work with the greater population on how her light designs will have a positive impact on people’s well being.

Marlene Krueger is an innovative contemporary artist whose practice sits at the intersection of electronic engineering, kinetic art, and visual illumination.

• Coastal Photography:

Inspired by shifting illumination and atmosphere from her Monterey Seascapes.

• Kinetic Light Art:

Used raw materials, filters, and refraction to capture the glowing installations.

• Educational Legacy:

The Art Institute of Chicago; Senn Academy (Chicago); Univ. of Illinois

Marlene Krueger is an innovative contemporary artist whose practice sits at the intersection of electronic engineering, kinetic art, and visual illumination. Her goal with these innovations is to inspire youth to remember their “birth-right abilities” to invent, construct, and see beyond traditional art. Bridging the gap between fine art and technical invention. Krueger’s pioneering spirit transforms complex science into interactive visual poetry.

An Environment such as the Monterey Bay Aquarium admits natural light providing access to nature.

Marlene Krueger Bridges Science, Nature, and Art

Marlene is an artist and educator celebrated for pioneering kinetic light art and technological inventions, notably during her tenure teaching in the Chicago area. She creates interactive, electronic works that use motors, prisms and polarization, used in photography.

Summary of Works & Innovations

  • Kinetic Light Art: Krueger is recognized for inventing and constructing electronic devices from scratch, using prisms, and specialized motors to create dynamic, moving displays of illumination.
  • Art Education Innovations: While teaching art (including her well-documented time at Senn Academy in Chicago), she designed and produced these kinetic pieces to motivate high-risk and distracted students.
  • E.A.T. Preservation: Her work is closely tied to the ethos of E.A.T. (Experiments in Art and Technology), combining science, engineering, and visual expression to inspire students.

Light fill the sky over Point Lobos, Monterey County. We see the effects of light at sunset as the sky changes to red. Marlene studies the effects through the camera lens.

      A photo Journal is like the magic of telling stories through pictures, where photography and journalism dance together beautifully. It mainly captures what’s happening now and the stories that make us human. This is were we begin, as we capture history at Lover’s Point where art meets marine science in Monterey, behind the iconic view…
