About Sally
Sally Weber is a light artist based in Oakland, California, who works with optical and digital holography, video, dimensional photography, and light installations.
Weber’s work harnesses the essential natural forces underlying life and reveals the patterns that connect them.
Weber earned her Master of Science in Visual Studies from the Center for Advanced Visual Studies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. She trained with Otto Piene, Director of CAVS and a founder of the seminal group Zero. Her studies in holography were with Harriet Casdin-Silver, a pioneer in the artistic uses of optical holography, and Dr. Stephen Benton, developer of the rainbow, white light hologram at Polaroid, later Director of CAVS.
She has produced numerous public art installations and private commissions, and exhibited nationally and internationally, including the Butler Institute of American Art in Youngstown, OH; the McNay Museum, San Antonio, TX; the Museo of Aveiro, Aveiro, Portugal; Kunsthalle, Budapest, Hungary; and the Osthaus Museum, Hagen, Germany.
