SUMMARY:ART // Nineteen Eighty-Four. Rafael Lozano-Hemmer
DESCRIPTION:“Nineteen Eighty-Four\,” is an interactive display that shows house address numbers extracted from Google Street View images. The numbers have an immense variety of fonts\, colors\, textures and styles\, as they were scanned by Google from the front doors of buildings from all over the World. The display writes over 22 billion different combinations of the number 1984; these combinations change automatically at a speed that can be set using a dial\, from one different image every ten seconds to ten images per second. At the default speed\, it will take around 1\,000 years for the same combination of images to be repeated. Typing any number onto an onboard animated keyboard starts a fast count-down or count-up until eventually the number 1984 is reached. At that point\, the display resumes cycling through different combinations of images to make variations on 1984. \nAbout the Artist \n \nRafael Lozano-Hemmer was born in Mexico City in 1967. In 1989 he received a B.Sc. in Physical Chemistry from Concordia University in Montréal\, Canada. He has had solo exhibitions in the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art\, the MUAC Museum in Mexico City\, and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney. Rafael was the first artist to officially represent Mexico at the Venice Biennale. He has received two BAFTA British Academy Awards for Interactive Art in London\, a Golden Nica at the Prix Ars Electronica in Austria\, the “Artist of the year” Rave Award from Wired Magazine\, and a Rockefeller fellowship.

SUMMARY:ART // Zero Noon. Rafael Lozano-Hemmer
DESCRIPTION:“Zero Noon” is a digital clock that shows the current time according to eccentric metrics: it uses hundreds of different reference systems. The clock’s statistics are all synchronized so that precisely at noon they all zero and start over. For example\, the clock can tell the time based on the average number of daily financial transactions in Brazil\, or the average daily amount of cookies sold by girl scouts\, or the number of animal species that become extinct per day\, or the daily average number of breaths that a typical human takes\, and so on. Basically\, Zero Noon is a clock that is run by internet-refreshed statistics. At noon automatically a new metric is displayed in a different color chosen from a determined palette. The public may also change the statistics by manually scrolling through the list using small push-buttons under the built-in display. \nAbout the Artist \n \nRafael Lozano-Hemmer was born in Mexico City in 1967.

SUMMARY:ART // The Pleiades Project: To the Stars Through Collaboration
DESCRIPTION:The Pleiades Project is an international collaboration of seven artists creating multidisciplinary artwork based on the Pleiades Star Cluster. The collaborating artists are Diana Dunkley\, Debra Nelson\, Nan Renbarger\, and Margaret Rose of Kansas\, USA and Australians Estelle Anderson and Peta Milne from the Australian Capital Territory and Lois Denham from Central Goldfields Victoria. The Pleiades Project began in August of 2014 and\, as yet\, has no ending date. \nThe Pleiades Project artists have created an interactive collaborative installation that is a multi-leveled exploration of the Pleiades. This inquiry informs collaborative and personal creative investigation\, delving into the historical and personal myths\, science\, history\, and visual characteristics of this culture-bridging star cluster. The installation incorporates seven modular components\, each initially created by one artist independently\, that are woven into the final installation by all seven artists. The exhibit also features a video that includes each artist’s statement about the work and the collaboration and also includes videos and photos of several of the projects completed over the years of the collaboration
