Technology and Art: A tool becomes a force
Roger Reynolds and Steven Schick
Atkinson Hall Auditorium
Wednesday May 14 noon – 1:30pm
Roger Reynolds and Steven Schick have spent years pushing boundaries, each in his own way. In their quest to convert sonic ideals into experiences for audiences, the computer has now become a factor. Technology can facilitate expression and also allow for work in new areas. Using the computer as a tool brings into reach opportunities not otherwise attainable. Over time, this tool has become an influence on the creative ideals of the music itself. It not only facilitates expression but helps to shape the outcome.

Virtual Unreality, Interactive Digital Artworks Using Game Technology. Three Internationally-Known Artists Embrace the Unreality of Virtual Spaces. September 14 through January 7, 2008
Our world is edging more and more towards digital environments. What are the societal and cultural implications? Does it change the way we think? The way we feel? Virtual Unreality, a new interactive exhibition in the Exploratorium’s Seeing Gallery, brings together three digital artworks by internationally-known artists that use game technology to explore the unreality of virtual landscapes. The works are Life Spacies II by Christa Sommerer & Laurent Mignonneau, Scalable Cities by Sheldon Brown, and Oceans (2000-2007) by Dan Torop. Virtual Unreality is open to the public from September 14, 2007-January 7, 2008. [more...]

SCALABLE CITY
SAD / USA, 2007,
internet project
SCALABLE CITY
The Scalable City uses a data visualization pipeline to create an increasingly urbanized environment. Each step in the pipeline builds upon the last, amplifying exaggerations, artifacts, and the patterns of its algorithmic process. The resulting visions of rapidly created cultural objects provide equal measures of delight and foreboding. The project neither indicts nor embraces this possible future, but heightens our aesthetic awareness of the underlying logic determining much of our shared existence. [more...]
