August 22, 2007, Greencastle, Ind. - "[dNASAb]: // techno_etic," an exhibition that visualizes the possible aesthetics of wireless data and the fetishization of technology, will be on view at the Richard E. Peeler Art Center at DePauw University from August 24 through September 23, 2007. You're invited to attend an opening reception with a talk by the artist on Thursday, August 23, at 4 p.m. That program and the exhibition are both free and open to the public.
What do we really know about all those jumbles of invisible frequencies, waveforms, and continuous analog frenzies of data feeds? They are propelled at us daily from Blackberry farms, hotspot communities, and our satellite-saturated heavens above. If visible, what would every teenager's cell phone conversation in a 12-block radius resemble? Would there be individual forms, color bands, or even a collective composite of teenage angst?
The galleries at the Richard E. Peeler Art Center are open Tuesday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.; Saturday 11 a.m. - 5 p.m.; and Sunday 1 – 5 p.m., and are closed during University breaks and holidays. For more information, visit the galleries online or send an e-mail.

New York artist [dNASAb] explores these possibilities with new works
in photography, drawing, painting, and assemblage sculpture. Informed
by the integration of art installation, sound, and technology,
[dNASAb]'s new work is richly intricate and visually stunning, each
piece suggesting a "visual network" formed from explosions of mass
techno-pod communication graffiti.
In [dNASAb] 's haunting and
ethereal photographic works, the artist transforms his Brooklyn studio
into a "visual network" installation by photographing his large-scale
paintings juxtaposed with his synthetic-biomorphic sculptures. In
several of his photographic works, the artist expands the photograph by
further layering painted representations of intertwined communicative
paths and data nodes, creating a composition of infinite dimensions.
[dNASAb] received a BFA in sculpture and in Mixed Media from
Florida State University in 1994. He was selected by Cindy Sherman,
Jack Pierson, and Adam Fuss for Unframed First Look 2004, a juried
salon for emerging artists "whose work will be galvanizing the art
world in the months and years to come" at the Sean Kelly Gallery in New
York. In March 2005, the artist was a winner in the Los Angeles Center
For Digital Art's international competition for photography and digital
artists. He has exhibited and has collaborated extensively in new media
art installations, interactive multimedia projects, and art performance
in New York and internationally since 1997. The artist lives and works
in Brooklyn, New York. |
