Two exhibitions
Whitney Museum of American Art, New York
"BitStreams" and "Data Dynamics". "BitStreams" is a provocative and stimulating presentation of contemporary art that harnesses digital media to achieve new dimensions of artistic expression through the transformation of images, space, data, and sound. "Data Dynamics" is an exhibition of Internet art that focuses on a prominent issue in this new medium: the search for visual models that represent a continuously changing flow of data and information.
BitStreams
Nothing since the invention of photography has had a greater impact
on artistic practice than the emergence of digital technologies.
"BitStreams" is a provocative and stimulating presentation of
contemporary art that harnesses digital media to achieve new
dimensions of artistic expression through the transformation of
images, space, data, and sound. The exhibition also illuminates the
fascinating crossovers among media, as photography, film, video,
installation, sculpture, and sound develop closer connections through
their common use of digital software. Among the forty-nine artists
included are: Jeremy Blake, Leah Gilliam, LOT/EK, Paul D. Miller (DJ
Spooky That Subliminal Kid), Jim O'Rourke, Paul Pfeiffer, Marina
Rosenfeld, Elliott Sharp, Diana Thater, and Pamela Z.
In conjunction with "BitStreams," Performance on 42nd presents
Pulse, a series of four events featuring live performances intertwined
with digital media.

Data Dynamics
"Data Dynamics" is an exhibition of Internet art that focuses on a
prominent issue in this new medium: the search for visual models that
represent a continuously changing flow of data and information. These
models offer navigational possibilities for experiencing visual and
textual information. The Internet art projects included in "Data
Dynamics" are exhibited both as installations in the Museum and in
the Whitney's online gallery, artport, accessible through
http://www.whitney.org. Each of the works focuses on different dynamics of
data, whether in the context of mapping language, stories, memories,
or traffic in physical and virtual spaces.
