ScareMail and Facebook Demetricator will be part of the Arte Laguna Finalist Exhibition in Venice, Italy

My 2014 exhibition and presentation calendar is already shaping up to be a busy one.

Both Facebook Demetricator and ScareMail will be part of the Arte Laguna Prize Finalists Exhibition in Venice, Italy. My category, Virtual and Digital Art, will be on view at the Telecom Italia Future Centre from 23 March to 6 April. Entrance is free and the venue is open from 10a to 6p.

Facebook Demetricator will be on display in the gallery component of Theorizing the Web. The venue is Windmill Studios in Brooklyn, and the dates are 25-26 April. I’m also presenting about Demetricator as part of the conference panel sessions. [link]

ScareMail is currently on view in Buffalo as part of Yoko Ono Fan Club, at the University at Buffalo Art Gallery, through 29 March. Next up for ScareMail is Exuberant Politics, put on by the University of Iowa, and held at Legion Arts in Cedar Rapids from 6 Mar to 1 Apr.

The Electronic Literature Association conference (ELO2014) at the University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee, includes a media art show component (separately refereed). ScareMail will be part of that show, and I’m also presenting about ScareMail and algorithmic text generation as an artistic strategy on a conference panel. [link]

I have a solo show at the newly created Web-Space, curated by Simon Bowerbank out of New Zealand. This show, focused on Computers Watching Movies, will include a never before released sketch clip from that work. This show will run during the month of April.

Finally, I neglected to mention here that Computers Watching Movies was part of the recently concluded COLLISION20 at the Boston Cyberarts Gallery. It was great to work with curator Will Tremblay.

And an extra: there’s another show in the planning stages that I’m very excited about! Check back (or subscribe to my feed) to keep up to date.

PRISM Breakup at Eyebeam

I’m very happy to share that my latest work, ScareMail, is premiering as part of the PRISM Breakup show opening at Eyebeam in New York, NY. From the show website:

On October 4–6, 2013, Eyebeam will host the first event of its kind, PRISM Breakup, a series of art and technology events dedicated to exploring and providing forms of protection from surveillance. This event came about in part from Eyebeam’s mission to support the work of artists who critically expose technologies and examine their relationship to society, as well as offering continued support to its alumni following their residencies. The gathering will bring together a wide spectrum of artists, hackers, academics, activists, security analysts and journalists for a long weekend of meaningful conversation, hands-on workshops, and an art exhibition that will be open October 4–12.

This is the kind of thing Eyebeam excels at—if you’re in NYC between Oct 4-12, I highly recommend you stop by! The show is coordinated by Heather Dewey-Hagborg, Allison Burtch, Aurelia Moser, and Ramsey Nasser.

My work Self Portrait, from my Flexible Pixels Project, will be part of the upcoming show Within: 9th Annual National Self-Portrait Exhibition in Chicago.  The show, curated by Sergio Gomez, features small works less than 12×12″ in size. Held at the 33 Contemporary Gallery in the Zhou B. Art Center, the show runs from July 19 to August 10.  The opening is on July 19 from 7-10pm.

My work, Facebook Demetricator, will be part of the upcoming show Public Assembly at The White Building in London, UK. Organized by Free Cooper Union UK, the show promises “a one-day free school celebrating alternative forms of knowledge and creative expression in art and technology.”
