Save the Date(s): Data Experience

Save the date for my first solo exhibition, Data Experience.
Dates: March 6 – April 14, 2012
Opening Reception: Tuesday, March 6 @ 6pm
Artist Gallery Talk: Tuesday, March 6 @ 6:30pm

EXHIBITION ANNOUNCEMENT: The body of work in Data Experience is an invitation to you – I invite you to become a participant and collaborator.  The core of my collaborative plea is our desperate need to reconsider the data at the root of our daily lives that we constantly consume and generate — iconography, conversations, our routines, etc.

I admit I should have invited you sooner – before the production of these systems for analysis, contemplation and creation.  Needless to say, these systems are not of much value unlessthey are put to use, tested and interrogated. Your efforts and contributionswill give each system and body of data meaning and life

The works in Data Experience include a number of entry points for collaboration and participation including (but not limited to): playing a game, scanning QR codes, telling stories, sensory input and initiating a dialogue.
