Guggenheim/Youtube Creative Video Biennial "Play" submission by [dNASAb]

HD Video, edition of 5 + 2 AP, 2.07 mins.
Guggenheim/Youtube Creative Video Biennial "Play" submission by [dNASAb]

Via the use of evolving technologies, we are projecting ourselves into a virtual, digital domain. It's a pivotal time in human creative history. We are evolving from merely consuming content to actually creating content. We are building our avatars, and online identities, broadcasting our lives, transmitting our gps coordinates, tweeting our thoughts, and uploading glimpses into the way we want our lives to be perceived by others.

We are also living a larger majority of our lives online, in the info-sphere. Many of us have more daily interactions with humans via technology than real-life human interactions, or more "online" friends than "real" friends that you have actually interfaced with face-to-face. We have begun "being digital", we have begun moving closer to traveling back in time, we have begun becoming immortal, we are populating virtual spaces. We are inhabiting the info-sphere.
This is not the future. This is now! It is a revolution! "We are human projectors"

Frederieke Taylor Gallery presents "dataclysmic", new works by [dNASAb] Jan. 7th 2010

"dataclysmic"7 January - 20 February 2010
Opening Reception: Thursday, 7 January, 6-8pm

In the Project Room, Frederieke Taylor Gallery presents dataclysmic, new works by [dNASAb]. [dNASAb] is known for creating new-media video work, utilizing consumer electronics and complex sculptural systems. The artist sees these technologies as raw materials for the creation of his work which have a distinct aesthetic, capturing velocity, direction, and evolutionary motion.
The video sculptures combine biomorphic forms with new technology to create a new living organism, using hand-blown glass, phosphorescent silicone and video optics. The new photographic works are energetic abstractions, created in nature in the transition zone between the surf and the shore. The photographs uniquely combine his mixed media sculpture with the unpredictable elements of the wind and ocean waves.
This is dNASAb’s first solo exhibition at the gallery. His works are exhibited frequently in the United States, and his work has been exhibited internationally in various locations including galleries in Paris, Basel Switzerland, South Korea, and Istanbul. His works are included in numerous private and corporate collections.-

"System: System" curated by Christina Vassallo Brooklyn,NY _October 23rd 2009 opening reception

system:system is a three-day event that reflects on the nature of associations between parts of a whole. The title is a play on the term “complex systems,” which are characterized by their connections and tendencies toward unpredictable behavior.A failing economy has decided the recent fate of 21 Monitor Street in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Formerly a nun’s convent, the grand three-story house now stands uninhabited due to the declining membership of St. Cecilia parish and its sister school.

Location: St. Cecilia’s Convent, 21 Monitor Street, Brooklyn, NY

"Emergent Ecological Technologies #2""2009 60 "w X 40"h photograph.lightjet print edition of 7 + 2 AP

Inspired by the surf, the unpredictable elements of nature,and the energy of the ocean.As well, as the amount of "consumer plastics" needed by humans to enjoy the beach.I set out to create new images incorporating the waves, both light and ocean, wind, sand, explosives, and sculptures made of plastics, rubber and fiber optics.I created mini installations on the shoreline, with fiber optics driven by 9v volt batteries, that proved to be waterproof.It was extremely difficult to work in that changing environment in the middle of the night, half of the time I was knee deep in water with the waves crashing on my tripod.But some interesting and exciting new images were created, and spawned a ton of new thoughts about how to create works integrating nature.

"NEXT POST" Solo Projects Exhibition at Rupert Ravens Contemporary,February 28 - April 11, 2009

"NEXT POST" at Rupert Ravens Contemporary
Dates: February 28 - April 11, 2009
Opening reception February 28th, 6-till
Solo Projects Exhibition
"NEXT POST"... is a foray into the next paradigm of art. Blog posts dispense with rules and manners. Jettisoning traditional brushes and technique, each artist uses space, new materials, color, and light as vocabulary of a hybrid visual vernacular. These projects are all BIG, utilizing maximum amplitude to put the potential of art to the test. NEXT POST material and light divulge facets of emotion, the oblique language of the psyche. Here postmodern ruses, wit, and theory are present not as the entirety of a gimmicky one-liner, but as icing on the cake.

[dNASAb] exhibits work in a show titled "CURRENTS IN CONTEMPORARY PHOTOGRAPHY" at Flanders Art Gallery opening reception Jan. 30th

"CURRENTS IN CONTEMPORARY PHOTOGRAPHY"
Opening Reception with pierogies & martinis Friday, Jan. 30th, 6 - 9pm

Over the past decades, photography has evolved into one of the predominant forms of contemporary art. Whether this growth is the result of a relatively youthful medium finally gaining the respect and legitimization of collectors or because the technological developments of the past century accelerated its potential, photography is not only a difficult field to summarize, but it offers almost limitless possibilities in both aesthetic and narrative exploration. more>>>>>>

"Sculpture in the 21st Century" Sculpture Magazine review of [dNASAb] 2008

"Walking into [dNASAb]’s space felt like entering a control room out of control. Wall mounted sculptures resembling imploded iPods were arranged at an accessible height. Each abstract composition of colorful Styrofoam insulation, extruded plastic shreds, and resin pulsed with fiber optic life. A small, face like screen blinked out at the viewer from each piece, competing for attention with changing audio and video compositions. In addition to these “iPod ecosystems” the artist self styled as “disneyNASAborg” also programs LCD screens to create “video bursts” or “data bursts” Here, data not only come to life, but also burst out of the proscribed boundaries of a computer screen. By deconstructing the medium of transmission, [dNASAb] has outpaced video installation to create a new sculptural form. The most recent piece in the show, ”iPod Ecosystem, FIOS-JESUS”(2008), incorporates a crucifix and a sound recording of Christmas Mass in a Spanish Cathedral. Was this merely to introduce another form of spectacle? Or to underscore the fact that these pieces are standing at the intersection of the known and unknown? By incorporating religious mytho-history into his fantasy world of electronic technology, the artist signals that she/he is willing to enter that dialogue.

In/Formation at BRIC Rotunda Gallery
Image: [dNASAb], iPod Ecosystem #12, 2007
The artists in In/Formation employ widely varying media and representational approaches to examine the radically changing nature of information systems and vehicles in the digital era. Leslie Alfin, Louisa Bufardeci, [dNASAb], Penelope Umbrico, and Ward Shelley present works that express the effects of information overload brought about by such rapidly transforming websites Google and Wikipedia. In the current environment, information is ubiquitous but not necessarily stable or even accurate. Rather, it is literally in formation—relentlessly growing in quantity and endlessly mutable.

"FIOS_JESUS;expaned christianity v2.0” is the first piece created in 2008,and was inspired by my many trips to Spain, especially my interface with Christmas Mass 2008.Sitting in a cathedral that took over 300 years to construct is awe-inspiring and truly indicative of the Greatness men can achieve when working together/collaborating on epic levels and monumental scale. The sculpture is emblematic of MY views on Christianity. I believe in alternate realities ,infinity ,alien life-forms , evolution AND the ideas of Christianity. I am concerned that religion is fearful of the truths of science and technology. Through this first work of its kind I created. I am trying to propose the possibility that they can all be interrelated, and in harmony, and not working to disprove each other. The alter pieces and stained glass windows create a truly creative, immersive environment for men to explore the unseen spiritual world through AWE. The audio is already amplified, the cathedral electrified. Wouldn’t it seem fitting if creating a new cathedral to integrate plasma screens, lasers, projections, and video/audio compositions to create a place for AWE, in the same way as the ancient cathedrals but utilizing new technologies?
I was very concerned when making this piece. Firstly, I have purposefully not worked with the figure in art for well over a decade, and never worked with religion as a conceptual theme in my work at all. And the majority of the Master artists that I respect that worked with religion as a theme in art, did so at a much later stage in their lives. But feeling compelled to flesh out some of the ideas swirling in my head, I decided to create the piece and exhibit it at the University of Tennessee solo show titled “Infosphere Aesthetics” . To my surprise this piece brought about a lot of great feedback, dialog, interesting questions and excitement to the show and further hammered home, in my mind, the importance of asking difficult questions through the creation and exhibition of art made_that not always is created for a reason the artist even himself understands.

TELECULTURE is a survey that brings together a diverse
group of new media artists, whose work - ranging from
photography to online virtual reality -embodies, a cross
section of thought that investigates perceptions of
identity in the early 21st century. Pace Digital Gallery
offers a unique and challenging public environment, where
as,through the sheer verticality of the space, the selected
artworks combine to visually communicate a sense of
claustrophobic post-millennial anxiety mixed with an
un-definable euphoria,liberation, and freedom.

"Particulate" at Vox Populi Gallery in Philadelphia

"Particulate" is a show of ten diverse and internationally known artists who have packaged their visual inspections for playback on micro players. These mp4 players, often illegally labeled as ipods range from 1" to 2.5" diagonal, offer very affordable and intimate venues for these introspective works.

These thirteen particulate samples were gathered from across the US and Canada to settle briefly in Philadelphia. Packets blown about in the passing traffic of the tubes abandoned by DARPA. The dust of dangerous bodies and cultures are collected, appropriated, examined, codecs have been applied, solid state storage units feed Chinese liquid crystal micro displays, photons are filtered and scattered. To ensure public safety, all specimens are simulated in small form, isolated, and displayed behind glass.

Artist included in the show are Laleh Mehran, dNASAb, GARhodes & Chris Ernst of The Buffalo Super Friends, Adriane Little, Tom Bendtsen, Adam Weekley, Alexander Reyna, Colin Ives, Christopher Borkowski, and James Humphrey .
