GREG NIEMEYER: PLAY AGAIN, YES OR NO?

Do all chessboards form a continuous surface?
Is playing the way for individuals to get engaged?
Are engagements just a game?
Do animals play better than people?
Do you play alone?

Greg Niemeyer will speak about his recent digital media installations and collaborations, including Organum (Chris Chafe and Greg Niemeyer, U.S., 2003). Referencing Bacon's famed treatise about our misreadings of nature, this captivating CGI short orchestrates an allegory about mutation and possibility. Yearning for love, fanciful creatures spun from human anatomical parts scamper about a cavernous world. It's as if humanity's aspirations remain long after resemblance has disappeared. Music by Chris Chafe. (12 mins, Color, Video, From the artist)

Greg Niemeyer is an assistant professor for Digital Media at UC Berkeley, where he teach and pursues his creative research in the area of digital media installations and collaborations. Supported by the prestigious Intel Art and Technology Research Grant, he completed several digital media installations, which explore novel experiences with computing. Niemeyer also recently organized two media conferences, 020202: Social Technologies and 030303: Collective Play, and participated in the core group which is developing the UC Berkeley New Media Initiative.
