I’ve been invited to present a generative new media exhibit called, "cloud factory" in the First Stage Gallery at the Lyric Center for the Arts March seven - 30, 2019. In addition to creating the visual art and sound installation, I will hold an artist reception the evening of March seven and will be available one further weekend for an informal question / answer session about the process and materials behind the work. The exhibit at the Lyric will include synchronized abstract geometric animations and sound to create an immersive cross-sensory experience. The installation with also include algorithmically-generated textile drawings, books and prints: physical manifestations of the machine chorus. The textile drawings are generated by the same code that generates the video projections. This opportunity allows me to explore this new development of my work in installations. I will: * document sound and visuals (recordings and photographs) in the installation for my own future study, * provide a journal at the site for community comments, * elicit feedback from the venue, participants in the question / answer session and from guests at the opening. This is also part of my effort to expand my sustenance base. Textile drawings and books will be available for sale. I will keep records of the number of visitors and the goods sold to get a feel for the possible market for these more tangible parts of my exhibit.
I presented a solo exhibit called, "cloud factory" in the First Stage Gallery at the Lyric Center for the Arts in Virginia, Minnesota from March 7-March 30, 2019. An artist reception was held on the evening of March seven and I was available for a question answer session on Saturday, March 30. I documented sound and visuals (recordings and photographs) in the installation for my own future study. I elicited feedback from the venue and participants in the question answer session and from guests at the opening. In an effort to expand my sustenance base, textile drawings and books were available for sale. I worked with the venue to talk about ways to physically intertwine the series of textile drawings, print books, sound animation machine octet and ambient light. This experimentation provided valuable insights for future exhibits.
