The Bath House Cultural Center presents DRIVER, an exhibition
of artists making the shift between traditional and digital
media through abstraction.
The creative process has become more immediate and expansive
through the use of technology. Instantaneous changes allow
for a greater exploration of chance. Iterations of identical
elements are created and designs become re-arrangements
of pixels. The culmination of possibilities and ease that
the digital process facilitates has revitalized traditional
media.
DRIVER merges analog and technological art-making through
painting, photography and prints as well as, video painting,
procedural painting (programmed algorithms that randomly
create designs) and interactive sculpture. In all of the
work presented in DRIVER, the computer was utilized in the
artistic process. DRIVER forms a visual aesthetic through
technological means that creates a new contextual dialogue.
DRIVER
features artwork by twenty-six artists and is presented
in all the three gallery spaces of the Bath House Cultural
Center. The artists included in this show are Elizabeth
Alavi, Mary Benedicto, Mark Babcock, Gregg Biermann, Erin
Booker, Chris Boughton, Brian Crandall, Shelby Cunningham,
Robert Flowers, Becky Heritage, Michael Owen Hill, Richard
Hill, Tuan Ho, Julie Hotz, Trish Igo, Sara Ishii, Greg Kachikis,
Max Kazemzadeh, Kyle Kondas, Kirsten Macy, Matt McAlpin,
Patrick Murphy, Polly Perez, Greta Poulsen, Paul Slocum
and Tim Stokes.
Mary Benedicto is the exhibition curator.
Rhythmic Patterns
An evening of experimental non-narrative
video.
Presented by Robert D. Flowers and Mary Benedicto
January 21, 2006 (7:30-9:30 PM) - Free
Rather than a night of familiar and tired narrative plots,
“Rhythmic Patterns” will present a complex visual
extravaganza, which asks more from the audience than merely
the deciphering of plot twists. The videos are animated
and/or composited using computer technology rather than
tradition “analog” methods. The works are non-narrative
in nature, relying on structure and color, to form abstract
shapes and patterns. These patterns form rhythmic sequences,
which often resemble a painting in motion. The screening
will consist of recent works by digital video artists, including
Elizabeth Alavi, Mary Benedicto,
Gregg Biermann, Robert Flowers, Tuan Ho, Sara Ishii and
Dean Terry.
