Clad, a collaboration with davidclovers, will be exhibited at the 12th International Architecture Biennale in Venice, Italy. Clad is part of the Hong Kong Pavillion’s exhibition titled Quotidian Architectures located at the Arsenale, Campo dello Tana, Castello 2126. Clad is a group of four glass fiber reinforced concrete (GFRC) prototypes for Lunar House. The exhibition is open from 29 August to 21 November 2010.

The Network A software is featured in the E-volve exhibition at Gallery [DAM]Cologne from 24 April – 24 June 2010. This is the first exhibition at the new gallery extension of [DAM]Berlin. This group show includes work by Eelco Brand, boredomresearch, LAb[au], Manfred Mohr, Mark Napier, C. E. B. Reas, and Marius Watz.

The Process 18 software, prints, and objects are a part of the exhibition el proceso como paradigma at LABoral in Gijon, Spain from 23 April – 30 August 2010. This exhibition was curated by Susanne Jaschko and Lucas Evers. They explain:

Before the background of unforeseen global processes, credit crash and climate change, the exhibition el proceso como paradigma researches the nature of processes and self organising, processual systems on a cultural level and in the arts. el proceso como paradigma puts forward the idea that today processes have become one of the major paradigms and creative strategies in contemporary art and design across the disciplines. The show reveals the elementary shift from a culture based on the concept of manifestation and the final product to a culture of process resulting from a networked society. Consequently, the show introduces a new understanding of process-based art which goes beyond previous definitions. el proceso como paradigma suggests that the new process-based art is the art of the 21st century.

The exhibition features work by Jelte van Abbema, Ralf Baecker, boredomresearch, Gregory Chatonsky, Adrián Cuervo, Ursula Damm, Driessens & Verstappen, Peter Flemming, Isabelle Jenniches, Roman Kirschner, Allison Kudla, Manu Luksch & Mukul Patel, Aymeric Mansoux & Marloes de Valk, Luna Maurer, Marta de Menezes, Henrik Menné, Leo Peschta, Julius Popp, C.E.B. Reas, RYBN, Warren Sack, Antoine Schmitt, Ralf Schreiber, and Jan-Peter E.R. Sonntag.

I’m exhibiting The Protean Image Machine 2 in the Collider exhibition in the Emily Davis Gallery at the Meyers School of Art, University of Akron. The project plays with the mutable nature of software. Participants modify software by filling out programming cards that are inserted into The Protean Image Machine. The Machine reads the cards and makes alterations to the software as it’s projected onto the wall. The emphasis of this action is on the relationship between the visitors choices and the resulting changes to the software.

A new group exhibition entitled Art and Electronic Media is opening tomorrow 16 June 2009 at the bitforms gallery in New York. It feature work from Laurie Anderson, Jim Campbell, Tim Hawkinson, Michael Joaquin Grey, Lynn Hershman Leeson, Robert Lazzarini, Golan Levin, Rafael Lozano-Hemmer, Mark Napier, Manfred Mohr, Tony Oursler, Jennifer Steinkamp, Lillian Schwartz and myself. I’m showing Process 8 (Image 2), a print from 2006. The show was curated in concert with the recently published Art and Electronic Media by Edward Shanken (Phaidon, 2009.)

I’m showing work in a group show at the BANK gallery in Los Angeles from 21 Feb – 28 Mar 2009. The opening is 21 Feb from 6-8pm. I’m showing a new software work (pictured above) and prints from the Tissue series. The press release reads:

BANK is pleased to announce the group exhibition, “I’ll be your mirror,” showcasing a selection of artists from the gallery’s program. Although divergent in their practices, there are two distinct themes that emerge amongst the seven artists exhibiting. C.E.B. Reas, Ann Diener, Fran Siegel, and Enrique Castrejon, take the formal aspects of drawing as a point of departure for collage, installation and new media, whereas concepts stemming from advertising, consumerism and excess are seen in the works of Kim Schoen, Osman Khan and Bari Ziperstein.

This is BANK’s final exhibition prior to transitioning to a Project Space set to launch in fall of ‘09.

Marius Watz and I have an upcoming exhibition at the Pittsburgh Center for the Arts from 7 Feb – 19 April 2009. The opening is 7 Feb from 5:30-8:30pm. This will be the first time Marius and I are exhibiting together after and I’m sincerely looking forward to it. I’ll be showing work from my Process/Form solo show at the bitforms gallery nyc in spring 2008. This new exhibition is in association with the Code, Form, Space Symposium at Carnegie Mellon University 3-7 Feb 2009. The image above is a crop of Process 18 (Object 1), photo by Marius Watz.

Process 16 is on exhibition at the University of California, Irvine Beall Center from January 9 – March 14, 2009 as a part of the Scalable Relations exhibition:

Scalable Relations is a series of networked exhibitions that present media artworks by faculty of the UC Digital Arts Research Network (DARnet) across UC campuses from January 9 throughout March, 2009. The exhibition, curated by Christiane Paul (Adjunct Curator of New Media Arts at the Whitney Museum of American Art), takes place at the Beall Center for Art + Technology at UC Irvine; the gallery@CalIT2 at UCSD; California NanoSystems Institute CN(S)I at UCLA; as well as Media Arts and Technology (MAT) at UCSB. Scalable Relations 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, the projects in Scalable Relations illustrate the complexities and shifting contexts of today’s information society.

My colleagues Sheldon Brown, George Legrady and Angus Forbes, Rebeca Mendez, Greg Niemeyer, and Warren Sack also have works on display.

With Tag<> at the helm, the Protean Image Machine continued its tour. The project landed at MediaRuimte in Brussels from 20 – 29 Nov 2008 for the Cimatics Festival for Live Audio Visual Art & VJ-ing. The installation was well documented by Marc Wathieu.

A photography studio-residence currently being designed by davidclovers is the subject of a collaborative research between davidclovers and myself. 07 MASSES explores the specific impact of luminosity and texture on mass and massiveness through a series of scaled prototypes. I developed software that was used to generate the pattern embedded in the surface of the structure. The model, developed by davidclovers in summer 2008, is currently on exhibition at Artist Space in New York in the show Matters of Sensation. The show runs from 25 Sep to 22 Nov 2008.
