The exhibition is free and open to the public.
Timothy Brower (Chicago, IL) uses low-tech mechanics to humorously
address our culture's desire for progress. Visitors are invited to ride his
modified bicycles, but will find that each presents a new challenge or frustration
to overcome. Meanwhile, Jason Lee (Chicago, IL) irreverently deals with the
frustration of the future with his yelling, card-shuffling, toilet-paper-hurling
electronic installations, using video and mechanical contraptions to turn
everyday occurrences into art. Scott Townsend (Raleigh, NC) invites viewers
to explore the relationships between representation and reality. The artist
creates a virtual environment of video footage, interactive CD-ROM, and large
digital printouts that visitors can use to examine all aspects of a distant
landscape. Technological advancements such as cloning, genetic engineering
and psychological medications are addressed in the work of Gail Wight
(Berkeley, CA). Wight will exhibit her "zoo" of test tubes containing animal
DNA, and several games in which viewers can maneuver psychiatric
medication across mazes of neurological systems and brain-wrinkles.
