THEIR Collaborative Presentations

Sci-Fi Night Club combined digital artists who worked with installations utilizing LED lights. Erwin Redl's light installations, specifically Matrix, reflected a the title of the exhibition. The environment created with Redl's LED lights gave the ambiance of a night club. Villareal's piece, Hive, stuck out in particular. The programming he did for each of the lights to link and move created a work that reflected the business of a bee hive. The two artists complimented each other and would create an effective exhibition.

Living Computer Mignonneau and Sommere/Hemmer was also an effective proposed exhibition. Pulse Park, which was located in a park that apparently no one knew existed, was a fascinating combination of lights and human interaction. The pulse of the lights were manipulated by the viewers, so it created an ever changing 'beat' for the viewers in the park.

Define Structure incorporated Redl and Asymptote architecture and the use of computer graphics, lighting, and architectural works. Thea architecture of Asymptote seem impossibly grand, and Redl's works seem impossibly surrealistic, even though the viewer is able to pass through his works. The exhibition would create a fun ambiance and environment; the combination of LED 'rooms' and architecture plans would make for an exciting exhibition.

Perceptions incorporated artists G. Scott and O. Wasow to create an exhibition that toyed with the viewer's perception of reality. Scott visual 'riddles' are engaging pieces that cause the viewer to think about what exactly the content is in the piece. The artists worked together nicely as many of their pieces represented somber feelings such as loneliness or discontent.

Mechanical Creations featured arists Renaldo and Feingold who played with human abilities and kinetics/robotics. The absurd talking heads complimented the robotic arms and would have made an effective exhibition of robotic 'humanizations.'

Future Schock Love Sounds featured digital artists Dan Deacon and Danny Perez. The installations would have utilized sound art and sound manipulation, similar to a concert, and digital video projections. The background of Dan Deacon with Animal Collective was something I found fascinating because I love Animal Collective, yet I have not heard of Deacon! The video projections would have matched the sound projects of Deacon, and would have made for an excellent, wild, exhibition. The title is genius.
