Join us February 13 at 8pm for a talk by Reva Stone. Stone will provide an overview of her practice, including documentation of her recent work, Imaginal Expression,
on exhibit at the Surrey Art Gallery until April 2. This viewer
activated, computer-generated, real-time animated, 3D environment uses
3D imagery based on protein molecules, wrapped with scanned imagery
from the human body - flesh, hair, blood vessels, bruises and scars. As
people are sensed in the Gallery, the molecular components begin to
animate to form a molecule, to mutate, and follow the movement of the
visitor. When the visitor leaves, the molecule begins to degenerate.
She will also provide an introduction to the project she is currently
developing while working as an Artist in Residence in the TechLab.
Exchange combines voice and face recognition software, video capture
and graphics to create a work that appears to have sentience.
