VF betaAR
Dates:
Sun Nov 14, 2010 00:00 - Wed Nov 10, 2010
November 14, part of BUSHWICK AUGMENTED REALITY INTERVENTION 2010 at BETA Spaces 2010 organized by Mark Skwarek and hosted by Nurture Art in Bushwick, Brooklyn (NY)
A new variant of Virta-Flaneurazine, VF betaAR, has been successfully developed which is produced from the skin secretions of bio- engineered and programmed hybrid Bufo toads. When areas of these toads are touched, the resulting reaction causes a wandering viewer to see things appearing from itinerant virtual worlds and other sources on the Internet. This perception can be simultaneously viewed on an iPhone or Android device using Layars or other augmented reality software. Though the parameters of the effects are somewhat limited at this point, this appears to be a very important step towards an integrated and compelling psychic experience.
BUSHWICK AUGMENTED REALITY INTERVENTION

The BUSHWICK AUGMENTED REALITY INTERVENTION — is an augmented reality take over of Bushwick, Brooklyn NY organized by Mark Skwarek. It will take place November 14 as part of BETA Spaces 2010. Artists will rework physical space with computer generated 3d graphics. A wide variety of works ranging from a virtual drug which has broken free of its internet constraints and is now effecting people in the real world, to a unicorn park, to serious commentary on the state of United States veterans will be free for the public to view [with correct mobile device].

Tunneling
Dates:
Fri Jul 30, 2010 00:00 - Fri Jul 30, 2010
Opening: August 7 · 7:00pm - 10:00pm
Famous Accountants
1673 Gates Avenue
Ridgewood, NY 11385
Famous Accountants presents Tunneling, curated by Will Pappenheimer: a spiraling group show featuring works by 11 artists and collaborators exploring the idea and aesthetics of "tunneling" in its various interpretations as a hallucinatory, near death, out of body, religious,underground, confining, degenerating, myopic, transitional, liberating experience or cultural moment.
In psychotropic drug lore these conditions are known as the competing sensations of good or bad trips, where states of mind are euphoric or frightening, idealized or going awry. Some of the classic visual symptoms of tunneling are circular radiating, repetitive or tube-like formations. Sublime sensations and visions or horrific apparitions are spawned as artifacts in everyday scenes and circumstances. The occurrence of these experiences in religious tradition and practice are associated with apparitions of deities, liberation or proximity to death. Social contexts also take on the conflicting trajectories of opening up and shutting down, with the promise of progress continuously in peril of being undercut by intractable forces of power. Visible in this transit state are both sides of this pictorial turn.
Tunneling includes artists working in a wide range of media that unfold different aspects of this theme. The show will include collage, video, sculpture, performance, new media, drawing and augmented reality.
Opening night will include performance by Irvin Morazen at approximately 7:30pm
Additional performance dates in August TBA.
Closing party, Saturday, September 4th, 6-9pm
