Hello World !
Hello,
Sorry for the long hiatus, I have been a busy bee lately.
This is a new year, and according to the cards, it is going be a very good year for art.
And I will admit so far its true...
This is what I have done since the start of 2012
I have new images! These images are the grandchildren of Lights and Shadows series and instead of only being focus on the interior, I am spending more time on the exterior and the facade.

Arts in Bushwick is pleased to present the second annual Seeking Space exhibition! This show seeks to give a platform to artists from Bushwick and beyond who may not have been able to exhibit in their own studios, bringing together a diverse set of works in an alternative space. Last year, the show featured over 30 artists, and included paintings, sculptures, and even sound art. This year’s show will include photography, video art, paintings, and much more.
The exhibition will be located in the central area of the Loom, a creative multi-use complex located in the center of the BOS festival. The show will be open to the public Saturday June 4th & Sunday June 5th, 12pm-7pm, as well as daily for the two weeks following.
Along with the diverse range of artwork on display, we will have refreshments and conversations! The Loom is located at the heart of the BOS festival, so Seeking Space will be on your way as you move from one map area to another.
The show will be curated by two local artists, Jillian Salik and Julia Sinelnikova.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Artists of all kinds (media, installation, sculpture, performance) were invited to interpret this year’s theme – an often-apologetic preface when entering hearty deliberations about world politics, globalization or economic policies; a notorious description for defending the inherently complex dynamics of personal relationships, gender, or sexuality; and sometimes the dreaded top notch of a difficulty rating system for various “how-to’s” in the realm of vegan cooking, furniture assembly, or home-improvement. *** Stay tuned for the complete list of over 30 artists and performers that will take over all three floors of the beautiful DNIPRO Ukrainian Center. There will be live music, burlesque troupes, belly dancing and so much more - We can't wait to share what we have in store for you! ***
And don't forget to bring cash with you to purchase drink tickets throughout the night!

Interflections / John Bono
An installation constructed to make the participant experience and reflect upon the nature of individual introspection and one-on-one interaction. Designed to attract and draw the viewer in, it responds differently depending on whether it is approached alone or together, thus provoking reflection on subjectivity and otherness. http://www.acsu.buffalo.edu/~jfbono/

Relational Aesthetics are Impressions Upon Oneself / Josh Parkins
A lush visualization of relationships portrayed as a tangled mass of fractured thoughts and identities, tenuously crafted into a fragile whole. The fragility is apparent by how the performer becomes a complicated mess of impressions from their environment. The performers own form is lost in the audience through projection and subsequent reflection www.joshparkins.com

MALFUNCTION / John J. Fink
3 channel video installation: interconnected scenes domestic scenes of looking, reacting and gazing create a sense of intimacy. Exploring the nature of the gaze and the weight of an individual shot in a narrative, moments in three monitors are juxtaposed against one another creating a sense of a malfunction of film language conventions, a nod to Eisenstein's experiments with dialectic montage. www.johnfinkfilms.com

Liminal Processes: The Living Utterances of Speaking Applications / Eric Souther
Can a machine, a computer, create a living utterance? A talking machine is required to follow a strict set of linguistic rules that govern the English language and if followed creates human-sounding speech. This assumes that what is programmed is, of course, a rational set of commands, a sentence, or a specific word. Does this strict assignment of meaning, that has to exist as computer code for the machine to speak, make the words that are spoken “fixed realities with consistent referents?” Is the computer then a fundamentalist of language? Or can these utterances have life, or at least live in the “poetic thinking” of the viewer? unseensignals.com

Already receiving praise from tyrannical governments and oppressive corporations, this machine takes valuable information fed into it and produces new politically correct information. Maybe your family is smiling a little too much in your favorite photo? The Censor-O-Matic 9000 can fix that! Do your friends' un-hip looks held in your prized scrapbook pictures embarrass you? The Censor-O-Matic 9000 can fix that! Hate that Wedding portrait? The Censor-O-Matic 9000 can fix that too! The Censor-O-Matic 9000 will be making it's first ever public appearance ever to civilians & citizens at the 2011 Squeaky Wheel Peep Show. Don't forget your checkbook. Afterall, you might actually need this."

iSwap: we put the eye in team / Timothy Scaffidi, Alice Alexandrescu, Marc Tomko
Building a successful team requires strong individual personalities working together to get results. With iSwap, “we put the eye in team”. Using cutting-edge practices and state-of-the-art technology we've re-engineered the team-building experience to give your company the competitive advantage. As the participants accomplish tasks, their eyesight will be periodically swapped: participant A will see from participant B's perspective, and participant B will see from participant A's perspective, forcing teammates into a cooperative, outside-the-box, problem solving mindset.

Furrowed Brow / Aaron Oldenburg
This is a game that simulates creases in the player's forehead that move from side to side with the tilt of his or her head. It uses an Arduino board, LCD screen and accelerometer attached to a wig. The game is simple: the furrow is represented by a jagged line made of ASCII characters. The player is either trying to catch or avoid the "o" that drops from the top of the screen. When the "o" hits a crease, that part of the crease disappears until there are none left. It can be played solo, in the mirror, or with a second player. There is another game with two furrows. It is casual in the sense that you can play it while brushing your hair. The creases again move in the direction that the player's head tilts. Avoid letting them touch the edges of the screen.http://aaronoldenburg.net

Registering Our Exasperation / Keir Neuringer
Registering Our Exasperation is a cross-perceptual installation created in The Hague in 2006 by musician and interdisciplinary artist Keir Neuringer. The multi-screen, multi-speaker work takes as its point of departure the pauses in the speech of the hosts and guests of independent news program Democracy Now!, adding to it a list of "things you cannot see" -- words and phrases that might exasperate a person of conscience navigating the madness of industrialized civilization. http://keirneuringer.com

Bedroom Eyes / Susanne Stefanski + Kyle Butler + Alicia Paolucci
Bedroom Eyes is an installation that uses the potential for awkwardness, embarrassment, or gratification in subtle hints or flirting as the motivation for designing a landscape about the space between come-on and brush off.

Hollywood Slaughter / Torn Space + Lukia Costello
Originally conceived as an advertisement shoot for an absent product, the photo shoot was structured around Dan’s stage direction and story structure, and interpreted through Lukia’s photography. The task was for Dan and Lukia to each edit down the number of photos to capture a narrative made through individual choices of sequencing and effect. The results are two narratives occupying parallel’s universes. This is collaboration between Torn Space Theater (Dan Shanahan, Melissa Meola, Tim Stegner, Kara McKenney, Justin Rowland) and Lukia Costello, with audio contribution by Scott Valkwitch.

The Slumber Party / Tom Holt & Chelsea Wagner
A slumber party housed inside a blanket fort exploits the saucy potential of slumber parties. Party-goers are invited to play games such as Pixxxionary, Spin The Bottle and Twister. In true slumber party fashion, attendees can paint their nails or their friends’ nails - and if nail painting isn’t their thing, they can be treated to some body painting by the slumber party hosts. Naughty baked goods, lollipops and pillows for pillow fights will also be provided!

“Immortal Beloved” by Dax Norman
"Immortal Beloved" is a complicated experimental animation, which makes extensive use of figure/ground reversal to tell multiple narratives simultaneously. Different stories are interwoven seamlessly until they become one. Musical Score by Neil Anderson-Himmelspach. spachmusic.com. /www.daxnorman.com

Sacré Bleu / Anna Scime
Narrative potential quickly becomes music in sacré bleu. It's holy constipation instead of catharsis – a pairing of the crass with the sublime, nature with god, the awkward with the seductive and so on. Produced here at Dnipro in conjunction with Richard Foreman and Sophie Haviland's Buffalo Bridge Project, and starring Diane Gaidry, Neil Garvey and Linda Stein. (05:00)

Himen Productions presents The Wild Cherry / Brittany Debole
The Wild Cherry serves as a metaphor for sexual identity/ sexual experiences; This film uses fruit to explore the complex relationships of first base, second base, third base moving towards the climax - the end. Society tells women losing their virginity should be special, that you should be old enough and that you should be in love - but it never happens like that. This is one woman's story.

Confined 10-01-2 / Russell J. Chartier & Paul J. Botelho
Explores the sense of confinement of life in a large city. The piece, created using manipulated footage shot throughout NYC, consists of textures comprised of feedback loops uplinked to satellites then down-linked back to Earth. These “feedback loops” were manipulated with various pieces of broadcast equipment through the looping process and were then further manipulated in the postproduction process. The textures and manipulated footage were then woven together to create this work. paulbotelho.com

PERFORMANCES IN THE LIBRARY ROOM, Between Video Screenings:
Reactionary Ensemble
8:30pm & 12:30pm Reactionary Ensemble is a roving circuit of improvisational artists and musicians looking to merge sound and vision into an immersive, multidimensional experience. Fluid in nature, these sensory-based performances unleash streams of transitory sounds and visual images to stimulate a hypnotic, primordial, trance-like state of spontaneous free association. http://reactionaryensemble.blogspot.com/

No Input System / Live Video/Sound Performance by Morgan Higby-Flowers
9:30pm & 11:30pm No-input system performance that generates video and sound simultaneously. This system consists of audio and video equipment patched in such a way that it creates its own imagery and sound, thereby acting as an entity the artist collaborates with. Morgan recently performed this as part of the first annual glitch conference in Chicago this past October ( http://gli.tc/h).

Poverty Hymns & The Lamp Orchestra / T. Andrew Trump
10:30pm Building warm layers of guitar & sampled sounds Poverty Hymns creates something between out folk and minimal electronic music. Comfort music for the modern weirdo that borrows from jazz, americana and ambient thought patterns. In turn, these sounds are reciprocated by a collection of 9 dated household lamps which flicker, pulse, throb - dance to the guitar phrases, cascading in and out of phase. Creating something akin to softly falling down a mountain - in a dream. http://www.reverbnation.com/poverrtyhymns
