Scalable Relations Works by University of California
|
January 9 – March 14, 2009 The exhibition brings together works that explore digital media's capability of representing a growing amount of data in constantly evolving relations. Addressing a range of issues—from the construction of visual worlds to self-representation and socio-cultural and political issues—the projects in Scalable Relations illustrate the complexities and shifting contexts of today's information society. The projects featured at the Beall Center explore the theme of scalable relations from several angles. One group of works explores patterns, complexity, and "generative algorithmic process"—the computational transformations that are set in motion by code and, with some degree of autonomy, produce a system or artwork—with regard to nature, organic processes, and urban development. |
EX-I-09 Shih Chieh Huang  |
April 3 – June 6, 2009 Huang, born in Taipai and educated in the United States, is an internationally exhibited new media artist whose recent exhibitions include the 2007 Venice Biennale and the U.S. electronic arts festival “01.” Drawing from the well of remix culture, Huang combines stripped electronic parts from the everyday objects that comprise our modern existence and creates a fully inhabited, interactive world that is both obviously familiar and strangely foreign. |
Constant World curated by David Familian
|
October 3 – December 7, 2008 (Closed Nov. 27-29) Known for their intricate and intimate dioramas featuring small spy cameras that project scenes onto walls, monitors, or screens, the McCoys explore a wide range of topics, ranging from the personal to the political. The exhibition demonstrates their continuing interest in sculpture, cinema and technology, and features the U.S. premiere of Constant World, a major work commissioned by the British Film Institute, as well as a survey of recent works. |
