Stephen Gang Gallery, New York
Part 2 of "Unknown/Infinity: Culture and Identity in the Digital Age" will feature artists who utilize digital media as their primary form of expression. Through computer animation, Web-art, audio-visual interactive installation, and other technologies, they confront the changing perceptions of culture and personal identity in the digital age.
Culture and Identity in the Digital Age
This exhibition has been organized by the Taipei Gallery of the Chinese
information and Culture Center with the generous support of the Council for
Cultural Affairs of the Republic of China.
Part 2 of "Unknown/Infinity: Culture and Identity in the Digital Age"
will feature artists who utilize digital media as their primary form of
expression. Through computer animation, Web-art, audio-visual interactive
installation, and other technologies, they confront the changing perceptions
of culture and personal identity in the digital age.
Whereas, part 1, presently at the Taipei Gallery May 18 - July 6, focused
on artworks that incorporate digital and audience-interactive technology in
the creative process, part 2 will concentrate on Web art. Before the
emergence of the Internet, art was mostly confined to museums and galleries.
Many present day artists are creating works specifically for the Internet,
intended for an international audience. This exhibition highlights eight
pieces of Web-based art that utilize this global network.
In conjunction with the exhibitions will be a symposium June 8, 9:30 a.m.
to 5:00 p.m. in the Taipei Theater.
The symposium, "Artists and Their Software," will feature keynote remarks by Anthony Huberman, education and
public programs coordinator at P.S. 1 contemporary Arts Center, and Scot
Kaplan, professor of interactive media at New Jersey University.
Guest speakers and panelists will include Bruce Wands, chair of the digital art
department at the School of Visual Arts; Kevin and Jennifer McCoy, NYC-based
video artist; Carol Parkinson, director of Harvestworks; Alex Galloway,
co-founder of Rhizome.org; as well as the exhibiting artists in
"Unknown/Infinity" part 1 and part 2. There will also be a video-art
performance by Angelika Middendorf and Andreas Schmanski during lunch.
Free tickets to this event will be issued on a first come, first served basis.
The Taipei Gallery, for part 1, is located at McGraw-Hill Building, 1221
Avenue of Americas.
