CURATED BY LEA REKOW
Gigantic ArtSpace is proud to present Gen.R.8, a group exhibition
exploring generative processes in artistic production. Duplication,
replication, and simulacrum are explored through print, video, film,
music, painting, robotics, cloning, and sound composition machines.
Gen.R.8 is a peek through the lens of continual, conceptual fusion. The
"DNA" of this work is modified, distorted, and in some cases rendered
completely irrelevant. An exhibition catalogue will be available.
LEMUR:
A group of artists and technologists present a "band" of robotic musical
instruments that play themselves, driven by generative software and
algorithmically generated improvisation.
LEE RANALDO:
Musician and visual artist, is an original member of the group Sonic
Youth. Lee has written the composition for the LEMUR instrument,
"GuitarBot", and presents Madonna Generation, a print project.
ANDREA POLLI:
Installation and digital print series The Fly's Eye, tracks live
movement with light analysis to create deconstruction of the video image.
NATALIE JEREMIJENKO:
Clones from the OneTrees project; tree(s) micro-propagated in culture,
will be monitored for growth differences. A pack of feral data tracker
dogs: Sniffers, will also be roaming the gallery. Sniffer is a
store-bought toy robotic dog, modified to hunt for environmental toxins.
BILL MORRISON:
Decasia's decomposing film stock creates tension between the stained,
eroded, unstable surface and the fragile nature of that which was once
photographically represented.
DJ OLIVE:
Referential components of sound samples exemplify the inherent haziness
existing between the boundaries of "biting" and remixing.
KEN MONTGOMERY:
Lamination Ritual is a participatory activity and listening experience
which stimulates the mind and body in-the-moment, producing an original,
tangible, transformed object which will last... almost forever.
LAURA KURGAN:
Commissioned and manipulated high resolution commerical/declassified
satellite images inhabits the space and politics of new digital spatial
technologies and databases.
STEVE REICH:
Speech recordings generate the musical material in Early Works.
CAROL WARNER:
Commercially produced images are subjected to both additive and
subtractive processes to scramble familiar visual information.
IBRAHIM QURAISHI:
Anamorphose is an ambient narrative of multiplication, duplication and
digital manipulation.
DAVID LEE MYERS:
Specialized circuitry and electronic systems produce "Feedback Music".
Images are then produced from oscilloscope traces of the Feedback sounds.
GREG DEOCAMPO:
Remixes a synthesis of a mathematical model of the Big Bang hum and
solar flare from space probe Cassini.
PAUL D. MILLER AKA DJ SPOOKY THAT SUBLIMINAL KID:
A limited edition of logarithmical musical patterns from different cultures.
