FRI 10 JULY - SUN 6 SEPT ANOT [1]PATTERN & NOISE - WOOD STREET GALLERIES. PITTSBURGH. USA. FRI 10 JULY NOT [2]LATITUDE / TEKTON - PIERCE STUDIOS. PITTSBURGH. USA. TUES 23 JUNE ANOT [3]SMALL GLOBAL - ATMOSPHERE WELLCOME TRUST. LONDON. UK. [4]Pattern and Noise is [5]D-Fuse as first solo exhibition in the US. Across the two floors of [6]Wood Street Galleries they will explore the different themes central to their work: [7]Small Global, on the 3rd floor, focuses on data visualisation in relation to environmental issues and global interdependency, while [8]Tekton, on the 3rd floor, references their roots in audio-visual culture, exploring the spatio-temporal qualities of light and motion. [9]Small Global is an immersive interactive installation that combines data visualisations, graphics, animation, filmed footage and surround sound to address issues of global interdependence, consumption and environmental degradation. With two modules, Deforestation and [10]Coltan, produced at [11]Eyebeam [NYC] in 2005, the recent [12]Extreme Energy module takes a look at the increasingly desperate measures taken to extract more fossil fuels out of the earthas crust. Multiple transparent screens arranged in a cube are catching the light of projections on several layers, with the images echoing on walls, ceiling and floor of the space. Members of the audience can walk around and inside the cube, their bodies becoming part of the projection surfaces. Interaction sensors allow visitors to reveal visual information with their presence. [13]Tekton is an ongoing collaboration between [14]D-Fuse and [15]Labmeta exploring the materiality and temporality of light in motion. Multi-layered light emitting objects are organised into kinetic structures that are governed by algorithmic systems. As the mechanics of the devices are rendered invisible we witness trace elements. The fragile binaries of disorder and pattern, light and dark, harmony and disarray, human and machine become delicatly balanced as they are stabilised in motion and ghost like images hang in the air. Beginning as a series of audiovisual shorts with musicians including Hauschka, Lusine, and Swayzak, the project has generated a series of experimental shorts and an audiovisual performances. The exhibition in Wood Street however moves this concept forward into the art gallery space with the construction of a large scale kinetic machine, the virtual machines from early exploration have become a physical, kinetic sculpture. To celebrate the opening of the [16]Pattern and Noise exhibition, on July 10th there will be two live A/V live shows - [17]D-Fuse will present [18]Latitude and will be joined by [19]Labmeta for a performance of [20]Tekton - at Pierce Studios as part of the [21]Gallery Crawl, a free quarterly art showcase in the heart of Pittsburgh's Cultural District. [22]Latitude is a 2-screen performance, the outcome of a 3-month research period in China, based in 3 cities, Shanghai, Guangzhouand Chongqing. The piece is a survey of the city as unstable terrain, inspired by psychogeography it follows the emotive and sublime qualities of the spaces that surround us. Whilst Tekton the output from numerous experimental shorts derived from kinetic light machines and ties them together as an audiovisual piece. We hope to see you there!
