Evolving Perception: Time, Space, and The Human Body
Is a group
exhibition of international artists defining new uses of electronic
technologies. The show, presented by Art In Motion of the University of
Southern California, opens Saturday Nov. 6th from 7-10pm at THE*SPACE and
will be on view from Nov. 6th through Dec. 9th.
This show addresses how our tools change our perceptions. We now rely on
electronic technology to see the landscape of Mars, to fabricate nano-scale
materials, and to speak with family on the other side of the planet. These
are all examples of how our perception has evolved because of the evolution
of our tools. Evolving Perception represents the work of artists from all
over the world  with this global perspective they bring a range of
approaches, techniques, and views to these problems.
Artists August Black, Robert Drummond, Douglas Gayeton, Mark Stephen
Meadows, Marcos Novak, Mark Paulilne, Nathan Shedroff, Shelby Ring, Bob
Sturm, and Launa Bacon all work with electronic media and use nascent forms
of data to represent parts of the world we cannot perceive without digital
technology. The work ranges from the varied photography of Shedroff,
Gayeton, Ring and Novak to the large-scale video installation of Drummond
and Bacon. Novak¹s virtual architecture is generated form music and Meadow¹s
St Elmo is a database-driven film; a narrative AI/AE system that responds to
the viewer¹s input. Drummond¹s anamorphic video installation relies on
multiple viewing perspectives while Sturm¹s music is generated from the
tides of the Pacific Ocean. Also, focus will be on the work of Pauline,
cofounder of the Survival Research Laboratories.
The works require computers to produce or represent a range of different
information set in time, space, sound and light. The show, in sum asks 'What
is the state of the art of human perception?'
