As our boffo OPENING RECEPTION draws to a close — though we intend to keep the party going until the end of the night! — we need to bring into the fold of today’s posts one more artist. We first called out CHARLES EMLEN’s phenomenal installation in our 3D space last Saturday with a video post, but it's worth spotlighting again...plus the artist points out the calculus of his two-screen multimedia work, which suggests that PROCESSES INTERSECTING SPACES is by far our most prolific show in terms of numbers of pieces included at once. “In this installation, there are two monitors. One displays a 10-minute looping composite video. The second shows a random slideshow with roughly 110 unique images,” explains Charlie. “Assuming the video changes every 5 seconds, that alone provides approximately 120 individual scenes. Combining those scenes with the slideshow images yields well over 10,000 unique scene/image pairings! A veritable cornucopia of iterative design.” Simply WOW.
