CURRENT EXHIBITION

Andrea Ackerman (US)
3D computer animation
Rose Breathing, 2003, a 3D computer animation with stereo sound, is part of a series of synthetic landscapes and characters, a contribution to our ongoing evolution from natural to synthetic beings living in an increasingly synthetic world. In Rose Breathing, a 33 second loop, a synthetic rose rhythmically opens and closes in human like respiration. Rose Breathing was created by the artist using Maya and Renderman.

Upside Down World 2008
Music by Julia Wolfe (US) Believing
This ecological driven video art work is based on the notion that there are many ways to see the world and locate our environment. Filmed quite literally upside down traveling through the French countryside the work aims to displace received visual values with new positions for visual comprehension. The intention is build a visual metaphor combined with displaced sound to indicate how things can look if we reposition ourselves for just a short space and time. Marty St. James
