Urbanisms is a selection of projects that remap and revisualize the city through the processing and reinterpretation of diverse streams of information: sound, captured visual images and texts. The projects in this exhibition reflect the dynamic diversities of urban patterning and permit us to perceive the city in different ways: through surprising juxtapositions of sounds, in the minute physical gestures of its inhabitants, in a changing collision of passers-by and their environment, in the accumulations of data flowing from online to physical space, and in the mechanisms of surveillance and control that provide a constant stream of visuals as byproduct.

Urbanisms offers an expanded vision of urbanism—or more precisely, a multiplicity of urbanisms—that is global, dynamic and mutating and present a spectacle of ever-shifting patterns of visual, aural and cultural information to be processed, manipulated and reconstituted anew.

exhibition April 12-June 10, 2005

Kristen Lucas has been screening and exhibiting work in the US and abroad since 1996. Her sci-fi distopias and conspiracy theories balance seriousness with humor, and have resulted in video, internet, sculpture, performance, and installation works. Lucas’s works are represented by Electronic Arts Intermix (EAI) and Postmasters Gallery. She recently participated in the Lower East Side Rotating Studio Program (Artists Alliance, Inc) and produced a radio play for the 6th Werkleitz Biennale in Halle, Germany. Lucas received her BFA from Cooper Union in New York in 1994 and is taking drumming lessons from a CD.
Kristin Lucas will present patch-works for correspondence and performance in addition to exercises in self-medication. These patch-works are informed by Lucas’s on-going interest in mediated communication, the subtleties between brainwashing, programming, and evolutionary mutation, compliance and compatibility, and by research on the social ecology of Silicon Valley and the legacy of Cold War science. Among the works Lucas will present are Your New ID (2005), an on-and-offline correspondence project, and Bubble Bath (2005), a computer animation of an “imagined” machine that randomly heaves silicon chips and pills.

Pace Digital Gallery Artist-in-Residence 2005
Jody Zellen makes projects that are both site specific and unexpected, exploring architectural spaces as well as  digital spaces. Her juxtaposes images of old and new cities  reflecting a  sense of nostalgia for the past, contrasted with  wonder about the future. The works mirror the experience of navigating a charged metropolitan area. Through a bombardment of disparate images her pieces celebrate the complexity and  unpredictability of urban space. A walk through the city becomes a vehicle for a meditation on space, time, and human interaction. She employs media-generated representations of contemporary and historic cities as raw  material for aesthetic and social explorations.

Jody Zellen lives in Los Angeles. She works in many media simultaneously making photographs, installations, net art, public art, as well as artists' books that explore the subject of the urban environment. She was a recipient of a 2004 Cultural Affairs (COLA) Grant. Recent exhibitions included include: Futuresonic 04, Manchester England; Images Festival, Toronto, Canada, 2004; Festival of Cinema Nouveau Cinema, Montreal; FILE 2004, Brazil; and COSIGN 2004, Croatia. Her website "Ghost City" (www.ghostcity.com) begun in 1997 is an ever changing, poetic meditation on the urban environment. In addition to "Ghost City" other web projects include "Random Paths"
Zellen will be installing new work for Pace Digital Gallery this Summer.

Johan Kotlinski is a 26-year old M.Sc. Media Engineering student from the Royal Institute of Stockholm, Sweden, Kotlinski is most known for having developed the Little Sound Dj program, an independently produced handheld music editor for the Game Boy. It has inspired the growth of the so-called chip music scene - a music style that is focused on making music with vintage computers like Commodore 64, Amiga, NES, Game Boy etc.

The talk will present the evolution of Amiga music software from 1985 to 1992, and discuss how it's evolution was connected to social and technical issues. In particular, to the birth and growth of the European home computer hacking scene - which in turn originated from the by now mostly forgotten early 1980's American hacking culture. There will also be a case study of my Gameboy program, Little Sound Dj, which is a modern version of the classic music editors from the 1980's. I will try to show how interface concepts from the 1980's can be combined with present ideas and tools to generate a useful and modern handheld music editor.

Yael Kanarek.
Conceived in 1995, World of Awe is an integrated media project that uses the conceptual framework of a 'world' to explore storytelling in the digital era. At the core is The Traveler’s Journal—an original story about a search of a lost treasure. Using the ancient genre of the traveler's tale, the project draws connections between travel, memory and technology, be it through the lament over the absence of the lover or a comical declaration of loyalty to the floppy disk.

Marek Walczak.
"In the collaborative process that passes as my work, which is really only a kind of playing, today we are into feeds and seeds! Feeds condition an odd contemporary desire to expose ourselves, our images, links, desires and location to others… perhaps the conditioning imposed by feeds can make this palatable? Seeds suggest the 'growing' of architectures, of inhabitations, rarely permanent, that can deal with this newly odd relationship between what's private or public. Technically things are getting easier, its now entirely plausible to create interactive architecture that's semi-permanent."
