<nettime-ann> [event] Upgrade Vancouver//with Reva Stone

["Kate Armstrong" <kate@katearmstrong.com>]

.

Join us February 13 at 8pm for a talk by Reva Stone. Stone will provide
an
overview of her practice, including documentation of her recent work,
Imaginal Expression, on exhibit at the Surrey Art Gallery until April 2.
This viewer activated, computer-generated, real-time animated, 3D
environment uses 3D imagery based on protein molecules, wrapped with
scanne=
d
imagery from the human body - flesh, hair, blood vessels, bruises and
scars=
.
As people are sensed in the Gallery, the molecular components begin to
animate to form a molecule, to mutate, and follow the movement of the
visitor. When the visitor leaves, the molecule begins to degenerate. She
will also provide an introduction to the project she is currently
developin=
g
while working as an Artist in Residence in the TechLab. Exchange
combines
voice and face recognition software, video capture and graphics to create
a
work that appears to have sentience.

After the talk we'll adjourn to the Whip Gallery for refreshments that
have
nothing to do with Valentine's Day.
