Patricia Search

Amos Eno Gallery, New York

Finding the Center


Patricia Search has worked with computer graphics for over eighteen years. Her multimedia installations derive inspiration from oral communication techniques in aboriginal cultures. The installations demonstrate how Western language and temporal perspectives create abstractions that remove us from reality and limit our perception of events to logical analysis.

Finding the Center explores new forms of temporal, spatial, and rhythmic links in interactive design that define a “spatial grammar” of interaction and enable the viewer to explore information outside a Western framework of hierarchies and causality. The geometry of space and time are juxtaposed with the poems and rhythms of aboriginal cultures, forming an audiovisual counterpoint to the mechanical rhythm of the human-computer interface. Finding the Center emphasizes the importance of using fundamental elements of human perception to bridge the gap between the tangible physical world and the ethereal world of electronic communication.

Patricia Search is a professor at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, NY. This year she was awarded a fellowship from the New York Foundation for the Arts. She has had 19 solo exhibitions of her art and participated in over 150 group exhibitions in the United States, Canada, Australia, Italy, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic, Greece, China, and Japan. She is a Fulbright Senior Specialist candidate and a frequent presenter and exhibitor at international conferences on electronic art. Her computer graphics artwork has been published in numerous international journals and three television documentaries. Her articles on electronic art and interactive multimedia computing have been published by many international organizations including the Inter-Society fo the Electronic Arts (ISEA) and the Society fot he Arts, Sciences and Technology (ISAST). She has received “ Best Paper Awards” for her research in interactive multimedia design from the Internations Visual Literarcy Association and the World Conference on Educational Multimedia, Hypermedia, and Telecommunications.
