GALLERY VISITS (TUESDAY, OCTOBER 3RD)
At Postmasters gallery, Natalie Jeremijenko exhibited work that combines art, sociology and environmentalism by converting the gallery space into a collective enterprise of material pertaining to New York City birds. Components include feeding and house complexes, information gathering perches and live video feed of birds.
Bitforms gallery presented a new show by Rafael Lozano-Hemmer titled, Standards and Double Standards. Lozano-Hemmer is a renowned new media artist who specializes in public art involving technology and surveillance to engage participants.
Eyebeam displayed Bill Dolson's Studies for Synthetic Meteors. The show presents massage video studies for a proposed public artwork in the New York City skies. It consists of artificial meteor showers, captured from multiple angles. The technologies used in this artwork were established with the assistance of scientists at NASA and Los Alamos National Laboratories.
At PaceWildenstein, the new show by Lucas Samaras, titled iMovie, is diplayed. It consists of several five minute voyeuristic films of Samaras himself, that he edited on imovie. In the films, Samaras travels through different shapes, sexes and identities.
All four of these galleries exhibit varying work by new media artists. They demonstrate the vast potential of art and technology and how that can be used in numerous ways--public, private, large scale and in tandem with the environment.
