My work uses digital technology to evoke a sense of a seamless transformation - digital to living or digital to human. I imbue objects with qualities not ordinarily occurring in nature creating a synthetic nature. In Rose Breathing, a 3D computer animation I did, a synthetic rose rhythmically opens and closes in human like respiration. The viewers own breathing becomes entrained with the undulating rose. This animation brings a new feminity and subtle slow emotionality to 3D character. I take specific aspects of the software and apply them in ways they were not intended, like using effects meant for movement clouds or waving flags on the rose petals or skin. Finding meaningful ways to use these cross category effects is essential to the evocation of a seamless transformation - digital to human. Rose Breathing was created using Maya and Pixar's Renderman. It is a 34 second loop with stereo soundtrack. Rose Breathing has been shown internationally and will be featured in a major upcoming show, Brides of Frankenstein at the San Jose Museum of Art July 30-October 30, 2005, curated by Marcia Tanner.

Representations of androgyny, autoeroticism and the exploration of gender significance are the themes around which our work evolves. Through tableau constructions, we allow photography to present itself as a facade rather than a document. Our work is a dissection of sexual significance in which the camera is our primary tool of articulation. Over the past few years, our work has evolved from literal representations of theses issues, to an examination of the intimate. The subject of these photographic series is often ourselves, however this work is not portraiture. It carries on a discourse with the history of masquerade in photography. Using ourselves as models to portray several different guises, we create a visual dialogue between subject and object within the work. The portrayal of this ambiguous tone through sexuality is a compelling force for us to create this work. In our exploration of time based mediums and photography, we have been disappointed by the narrative forms, yet we are always drawn to the genre.

As multi-disciplinary artists, it is our attempt to dissect the conventional narrative and create a fresh approach. Our work seeks homogenize our chose medium of photography, film, and video in a innovative way. To critique and explore the boundaries of contemporary visual communication is essential to our art practices. There is no single way to think about a medium. To constantly investigate, probe, and materialize whatever surfaces is our most potent tool as artists.

I have inserted myself digitally into existing film clips, in effect changing the narrative and asserting a romantic relationship between myself and various celebrities.


Foregrounding what is in many ways already at the foreground of enthralled public consciousness, web-artist Jillian Mcdonald meditates on celebrity and North American celebrity culture, mining contemporary Hollywood movies before digitally reshaping their filmic narratives. Dislocating by remixing Hollywood's artificial string/network of sound and image effects, her work corresponds to a humorous fiction and obsessively persistent romantic fantasy regarding bad-boy movie star, Billy Bob Thornton. Re-writing and re-contextualizing not the ready-made but the already-made2, she actualizes in digital space and time her own disruptive, contrary scenarios from the already constructed signs of the screen. What activates Mcdonald's apparent transference of affection, her digital infidelity? Although having made herself over into a digital fiction active within a fiction, the real time Billy Bob, the man outside the illusion, refuses to desire her back. Positioned as the refused, she attempts here to kindle his desire by writing a new conflicting and even competing fantasy to make Billy Bob jealous.- Jack Anderson

Margarida Paiva works currently with cyclical narratives that are made to be played in loop. These are video works that use the notion of cyclical time and are built with different repetition patterns, in an attempt to approach the Loop as a metaphor of life. Cases of personal traumas, amnesias, compulsive behaviors, psychosis, dreamstates, and routines are themes that are connected to the structure of the Loop.

Salton City, California, Once promoted as a resort on par with Palm Springs, the city today is surrounded by Martian-like mountains, rotten stench of hydrogen sulfide, thousands of dead fish and birds on the beach, and an unbearable heat above 100¡F. Today's ruins of hotels, marinas, yacht clubs, and vast unfinished housing developments questions ideas of modernization and unlimited progress of urban development.


Our critique as all critiques begin. With doubt. Doubt became our narrative. Ours was a quest for a new story. Our own. As we grasped toward this new history driven by the suspicion that ordinary language couldnÕt tell it. Our past appeared frozen in the distance and our every gesture and accent signified the negation of the old world and the reach for a new one. The way we lived created a new situation. Our exuberance and friendship. That of a subversive micro-society, in the heart of a society which ignored it. Art was not the goal, but the occasion and the method for locating our specific rhythm and buried possibilities of our time and discovering that true communication was what it was about or at least the quest for such a communication, the adventure of finding it and losing it. We the unappeased, the unaccepting, continued looking. Filling in the silences with our own wishes, fears and fantasies. Driven forward by the fact that no matter how empty the world seemed. No matter how degraded and used up the world appeared to us. We knew that anything was still possible and given the right circumstances a new world was just as likely as an old one. Text from Waking Life by Richard Linklater.

Critical Art Ensemble (CAE) is a collective of five tactical media practitioners of various specializations including computer graphics, film/video, photography, text art, book art, and performance.

Formed in 1987, CAE's focus has been on the exploration of the intersections between art, critical theory, technology, and political activism. The collective has performed and produced projects for an international audience, and has written five books: The Electronic Disturbance, and its companion text, Electronic Civil Disobedience and Other Unpopular Ideas, Flesh Machine: Cyborgs, Designer Babies, and New Eugenic Consciousness, Digital Resistance, and Molecular Invasion.

On May 11, 2004, Steve Kurtz's wife of 20 years, Hope, died of heart failure in their home in Buffalo. Kurtz called 911. Buffalo Police who responded along with emergency workers, apparently sensitized to 'War on Terror' rhetoric, became alarmed by the presence of art materials in their home which had been displayed in museums and galleries throughout Europe and North America. Convinced that these materials - which consisted of several petri dishes containing benign forms of bacteria, and scientific equipment for monitoring genetically altered food - were the work of a terrorist, the police called the FBI.

My work integrates sculpture, installation and technology. Each project / work determines its own course, and the medium used , interactive media,, stone, wood,, cast aluminum ,concrete, and drawings are equal partners. I incorporate a conceptual approach developed through physical properties, often investigated through a series, and developed through drawings.. I have received support from the New York Foundation for the Arts, Sponsorship Program, Creative Time Inc, Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, NCR Media Systems, Burning Man Foundation, Thundergulch, Fondation NestleÕ, Lausanne, Switzerland, The Burning Man Foundaton, Pro-Helvetia Arts Council of Switzerland, Stadt Bern project support, and the Puffin Foundation. Broadcast interviews on my public works have been aired on WPS1 Contemporary Art, MOMA, radio show , Arttalk. BBC, NPR, Toronto Radio, and Telli-Bern, Switzerland,. In 1997, a book of drawings entitled, Notations On A Trek was published by Scalo Edition (Andreas Zust). The book release was accompanied by a solo exhibition of drawings at Art Magazin, Rolf Muller Galerie , Zurich, Switzerland, and a reading of the text at the Drawing Center in New York.

I see my art evolving from personal impressions and experiences that are given visual expressions using iconography from contemporary culture.

My art maintains a certain rotating stable of sampled imagery from mass media, art, and my personal environment. For this work IÕve been drawn to design, to other art makers and to motifs which have remained interesting to me since childhood. Usually this presents itself in the form of cartoons, magna, or decoration. The result usually combines seductive organic forms (such as flowers) with technology (such as robots), overlaid with idiosyncratic abstraction.

Reyna is currently an adjunct professor in the Computer Arts Department at the School of Visual Arts.

The video tells the story of the human desire to be as close to truth as possible. But who ever will succeed while living a life dominated by the fast running time and endless searching? If there is any paradise, then monks or people really resting within themselves find a paradise close to truth close to GOD. But it is only truth people are believing in. Is there absolute truth? The video consists of three sections, a spiritual and a physical section and the acting level, the artist who is filming the scene, an intruder who become witness of a ritual of truth. This basic video was recorded in 2003 at the Rila Monastery, the spiritual center of Bulgaria.

Ed Paschke was born in 1939 in Chicago. Paschke learned to paint based on the principles of abstraction and expressionism. He received his Master of Fine Arts degree from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 1970.  His work reveals a powerful interaction between humanity and technology capable of shaping perception at the most fundamental level.  

Ken Nordine most creative work is reserved for his "word jazz," which marries liquid, free-association ruminations with jazzy instrumental backing. Active in radio since the 1950s, he's recorded numerous albums and syndicated broadcasts, and has even collaborated with the Grateful Dead. 

Miroslaw Rogala is an internationally recognized media artist whose work is known for incorporating new interactive media and expressing a transformed and diverse sense of existence. His works have been exhibited internationally in 42 countries and are included in major global art institutions.  Rogala is the recipient of a Ph. D. degree from the Center for Advanced Inquiry in Interactive Arts (CAiiA) at the University of Wales College  (2000) and MFA degrees from The School of Fine Art in Krakow, Poland (1979) and The School of The Art Institute of Chicago, Illinois (1983). The artists latest works: Divided We See, premiered in Holland;  Divided We Sing , an interactive sound installation, commissioned by the Pittsburgh Center for the Arts; and Divided We Stand/ Divided We Speak, a laboratory workshop for the large-scale Interactive Media Symphony in exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago.

Mary Mattingly's work defies the epoch in which she exists.  It is somehow ethereal beyond ethereal; a vision of the future so clairvoyant and harmonized and beautifully rendered that the format she works in is barely recognizable as one of the present.

While in residence at Duende in Rotterdam, Mattingly delved into art prophesy as a comment on contemporary society.  Developing a new rational for mobility and convenience, she introduced new modes of transportation and survival for the individual as an abstract concept and a modern reality. Although her portend may not overflow with optimism, the installation and videography she creates is gripping and visually compelling.  Using a variety of installations, drawings on Plexiglas, video and Styrofoam, Mattingly's work will instruct and construct an environment of the future.  It will be interactive and, with a bit of luck, frighteningly lucid.  

Mattingly has studied at Parsons School of Design, New York, NY; Yale School of Art, Norfolk, CT; and PNCA, Portland, OR.

The Archipel MediaLab operates from the narrow chain of islands between the Wadden mudflats and the open North Sea. Annually a digital Terra Nova is explored from the LabÕs base station, situated on the Dutch island of Ameland. Partly the explorations are an extension of Gallery-Hotel Dit Eiland - a place for contemplation and restoration. But more in general these ventures are intended to find a novel context for certain local values. The MediaLab is crewed by various artists, writers and musicians, united in the use of the internet as an unlimited free and vital space.

Curator Timo Mank (Leiden 1957) attended the Rietveld Academy Amsterdam, he is artist/hotel owner and co-founder of the MediaLab as artist in residence project. Lives and works on Ameland - Netherlands.
