Opening reception: January 17th 6-9 pm
The exhibition runs through March 31st
David Bowen's hypnotically complex exhibition, underwater, is at the bleeding edge of technology and interactive environments. Bowen used an Xbox Kinect to collect data from the surface water of Lake Superior for months. This information was then fed into a complex motor-controlled grid structure that is suspended from the gallery ceiling. The grid will rise and fall, corresponding to the collected wave data. When visitors
stand under the structure, they will see a fascinating contrast between the natural undulations of the waves and the mechanical movement of the aluminum rods and motors.
This installation was commissioned by the Biennale Interieur, Kortrijk, Belgium and supported from a Fellowship grant from the Arrowhead
Regional Arts Council.
