jihui – Digital Salon
presents Brad Paley
Friday, November 1, 2002, 7PM
55 West 13th Street, 9th Fl.
moderated by Christiane Paul
Brad will discuss and demonstrate his "toys" (including work installed at Tonic, a downtown experimental music venue), his design work (including work done for the Museum of Modern Art and tools that are being used on a daily basis on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange), and his art work (including TextArc, soon to be installed in the New York Public Library; and CodeProfiles, a commission for the Whitney Museum of American Art).
He'll outline his mind-science inspired "Designer's Checklist" or "Knowledge Acquisition Pipeline" -- a synthesis of ideas ranging from Psychophysics through the Cognitive Neurosciences to Psycholinguistics (but without the big words) – which helps him to focus on human mechanisms of understanding in very specific ways. He will show how it works vis-a-vis the demonstrations and how it directly dictates the kinds of craft needed to reach his objective: information-rich displays that still retain the calm layering of information and depth of meaning visible in natural scenes.
Brad will also talk about the distinctions and overlaps between toys, design, and art. He hopes that discussion with the audience will help test and clarify those distinctions.

W. Bradford Paley is an artist and interaction designer whose focus in both worlds is the visual interpretation of patterns hidden in information. His work has three primary goals: to create visual filters which let different subjects express their differences; to make the work readable enough that the viewer can gain specific insights; and to reveal complexity in a way that's matched to human perceptual abilities. His visual representations are inspired by the calm but richly layered information in natural scenes. He tries to build with the simplest filters, as if to say "look how little the filter is doing--the beauty must be in the subject itself." He did his first photography in 1968, his first computer imagery in 1973, and founded Digital Image Design Incorporated in 1982. He has exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art; he created TextArc.org; he is in the permanent collection of the Whitney Museum of American Art; and his designs are at work every day in the hands of brokers on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange. He is frequently asked to speak on the subject of interaction design, and pursues an integrated career where design jobs inspire art and art techniques inform design.

Jody Zellen -- Crowds and Power
Jody Zellen: "Crowds and Power"
october02 artport gate page
http://artport.whitney.org
Jody Zellen's "Crowds and Power" is a visual and textual reflection on the
relationship of crowds and the individual, unfolding in the public space of
the Web. The project explores the effects of mediation by breaking down the
crowd as totality into individual fragments of imagery and text.

CODeDOC -- launched today at artport
CODeDOC
An online exhibition
at the Whitney Museum's artport
http://artport.whitney.org
http://artport.whitney.org/commissions/codedoc/
Participating artists: Sawad Brooks, Mary Flanagan, Alex Galloway, John
Klima, Golan Levin, Kevin McCoy, Mark Napier, Brad Paley, Scott Snibbe,
Camille Utterback, Martin Wattenberg, Maciej Wisniewski
CODeDOC takes a reverse look at 'software art' projects by focusing on and
comparing the 'back end' of the code that drives the artwork's 'front
end'--the result of the code, be it visuals or a more abstract communication
process. A dozen artists coded a specific assignment in a language of their
choice and were asked to exchange the code with each other for comments. The
results of the programming are made visible only after the code--what
visitors to this site encounter first is a text document of code from which
they can launch the front end of the project. CODeDOC is an endeavor to take
a closer look at the process of this particular artistic practice, and to
raise questions about the parameters of artistic creation.
