NEW WORLD, NEW SEQUENCE
Featuring artists Evan Bissell, Gregory Ito, and Surabhi Saraf with Sebastian Alvarez
25 September 2012 – 13 January 2013
The migration to a hybrid experience of life, one that combines the physical and the digital worlds, is well underway. The newest RBI installation, New World, New Sequence, channels the intersections of organic and engineered experiences in our era of ever more mediated realities. Using sound and sensory exploration, live projection, painting, sculpture, and interactive online resources, it asks what our shared responsibilities should be in the freer new world that is emerging.
Surabhi Saraf and Sebastian Alvarez's installation and live performance of Oscillations delivers a perception-bending experience that illustrates the role of our senses across creative dimensions. Oscillations will offer a synaesthetic experience within a man-made environment, which enables the audience to connect with the domains of the digital and mechanical, in harmony with the analogue and natural. Evan Bissell's The Knotted Line is an online tactile laboratory where visitors can explore the shifting threads of freedom to uncover the historical roots of our present day prison nation – the dystopian context underneath the surface of the American mythos. Gregory Ito's In the Wake of Setting Sun explores the recurring death of the sun and the predominance of technology in how we process experiences. Ito has also created a work titled Blinded by the Sun, which is a part of the RBI’s new ongoing series of outward facing video projections. The work mimics the transitions seen during the moments between day and night.
Room For Big Ideas (RBI) is YBCA's free and open project space that engages our audiences specifically through the lens of YBCA's big ideas and multidisciplinary socially engaged arts. It is where art and
ideas intersect and are shared through interaction, experimentation and engagement. Room for Big Ideas hosts artists multi-media installations/residencies special visual and performative projects, new media and film screenings, and artists conversations.
We would like to acknowledge Glass Apps, LLC for supporting YBCA by providing a unique projection surface on which the artist's work reaches new depths of audience engagement and interaction.
