404 Festival

The University of Massachusetts Lowell Department of Art & Design is honored to announce that it will host the 16 th edition of the 404 International Festival of Art & Technology in 2019. The 404 International Festival of Art & Technology unites art with technology in an environment where artists can engage with community. The organizers are working to make artists and artwork accessible to the public in a variety of ways, including inviting classes from local schools to tour the exhibit and meet the artists. Works featured include a robot that reads the Twitter feed, a virtual reality tour of a unique Chinese monastery, electronic music compositions, a video mirror, and computationally created images.

Featured artists include curator & founder Gina Valenti, Alejandro Burdisio, Caitlin & Misha, Ramón Castillo, Jean-Philippe Côté, Matt Kenyon, Hyun Ju Kim, Anne Lilly, Lin Pey Chwen, Hye Yeon Nam, Jessica Rosenkrantz, Wenhua Shi, Mark J. Stock, and Jeffu Warmouth.

The value of good design, demonstrated in an exhibition through parallel questioning in a world where humans achieve enhanced abilities through technology, algorithm and machine learning, where co-existing with robots is a reality.

TinyMtn, another project by Mark Stock, was asked to produce 3D printed models of mountains for the exhibition. On display are: Mt. Everest, K2, Denali, Mont Blanc, and The Matterhorn.

Data Flow

  • Boston Cyberarts Gallery (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

We often describe the Boston Cyberarts Gallery as an exhibition space for those who regard code as their creative medium. And while that is mostly true throughout the year, this exhibition, Data Flow, is all about the code. However while for these artists, much of the initial expressive input is done with algorithms, the final product varies greatly. From visualizations culled from scientific data and complex algorithms for visualizing fluid dynamics to a custom program resulting in a playful interactive installation, all of the artists in this exhibition have developed creative systems for processing information that are simultaneously illuminating and emotive.

Come see three works from my "Immaculate Collision" series on display at Boston Cyberarts Gallery, along with pieces from Karl Sims, Nervous System, Nathalie Miebach, and Dennis Miller.

xsXL

  • Fort Point Gallery (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Artists work at a variety of scales, from minuscule to beyond measure, defying scale entirely. xsXL exhibits 2D and 3D works that are extra small (XS, or less than 10") with out-sized content and extra large (XL, or more than 36") works that overwhelm the gallery while still being contained by it. The goal is to find correlation or dialogue between the various works regardless of scale, while offering an opportunity to feature the range of recent art created by the members of the Fort Point Arts Community.

Come see my 3d-printed "Medium Spherical Dendrite" and EPS foam carved "Chaotic Escape (m95)".

Reception is May 10, 5:30-8:30pm.

Simulacrum
Mar
16
to Apr 29

Simulacrum

Simulacrum, curated by Jeremy J. Starn, explores a reality exclusively built upon representations  of programmed life that is no longer distinguishable from the innate. The included artists use maps, sounds, renderings, projections, algorithms, and images to grapple with how digital representation precedes any relationship with physical reality.

This is a new existence in which time and space have been redefined by evolving technologies. Being present now may seem insufficient for an understanding of the world when we can alter, circumvent, or recreate it to fit our needs.

Is Simulacrum a reflection of our reality? Does it mask or pervert it or simply create a new one? These artists address the concept of the simulation in lieu of its interaction with our notion of the real and the original. What is forged or represented are not likenesses of static entities, but instead the processes of feeling and experiencing themselves.

Opening reception: March 16, 7-10pm

Gray Area

Gray Area

In such a time of great uncertainty there is a growing feeling of unease; we reside in the spaces between a world of absolutes. The collection of work in Gray Area addresses a range of situations not readily conforming to an existing set of rules. As the color gray encompasses a multitude of mutable tonalities, both coloristically and metaphorically, the show will offer some creative clarity.

Opening Reception: February 2, 2018, 5:00-8:00 pm

Science of the Unseen: Digital Art Perspectives

  • Google Calendar ICS

Science of the Unseen: Digital Art Perspectives is an exhibition of the Digital Arts Community of ACM SIGGRAPH. Three of my works will be part of the exhibition: Chaotic Escape #1 and #2, and MESO. MESO is a new video and real-time work that shows, over the course of 14 hours, images all of the land in North America, in pure data. Instead of showing anything recognizable as landscape, MESO cycles through digital elevation models (DEMs), images for which each pixel represents the elevation of one quarter-acre of bare land. Watch an excerpt in 4K/UHD here.

Emerge at 13FOREST

to Jul 9

Emerge at 13FOREST

13FOREST Gallery is pleased to present Emerge, an exhibition featuring work by contemporary artists Dena Bach, Christopher Frost, Raúl Gonzalez III, Nancy Popper, Michael Seif and Mark J. Stock. Emerge seeks to explore the changing identities, thoughts and forms that take shape in an unpredictable world.

Through various media, Emerge presents the work of six artists and their unique interpretations on the theme of transformation—be it mythical, cultural, intellectual or physical. Inspired by the Japanese legend of "kitsune," foxes of exceptional intelligence that could shape-shift into human forms, Emerge is a meditation on metamorphoses in settings both commonplace and supernatural.

While Emerge considers dualities such as environmental versus human manipulation of materials, it also investigates more nuanced spectra of private and public personas, and form and formlessness. This exhibition is dedicated to unity with an eye toward truths that remain hidden and others that emerge.

Opening reception May 21, 4-6pm

Creative Tech Week - Supercomputing Art

At Creative Tech Week in New York in May, I'll be giving a talk entitled Supercomputing Art.

In this short talk, you will gain an understanding of how scientists use supercomputers to simulate natural phenomena, learn how those methods are related to generative artwork, and see examples of those techniques manifest in my print, video, interactive, 3d printing, and sculpture work.

Creative Tech week runs April 29 to May 8, 2016 at multiple locations in New York City. Consult the schedule for more information.
