> (Philadelphia, August 2004) In September and October 2004 the
> nonprofit artist organization, InLiquid.com, is pleased to present
> HYPER-RUNT, an exhibit of digital and conceptual art curated by "media
> breeder," Ebon Fisher and curator, Emily Zimmerman.
>
> HYPER-RUNT is an exhibition of experimental art projects by an
> internationally diverse group of artists including Bigtwin, Shawn
> Brixey, David Brody, Klip Collective, Ken Goldberg, Natalie
> Jeremijenko, Yael Kanarek, Mark Napier, Joseph Nechvatal,
> neuroTransmitter, Caterina Verde, and Tim Whidden. The artists were
> asked to submit those projects which rose up out of the creative
> process and took on an insistent life of their own, either in the
> studio or out in the public arena. These works do not fit snugly in
> the usual litter of cultural categories. As Ebon Fisher points out,
>
> "HYPER-RUNTs raise uneasy questions pertaining to the nature of art in
> the realm of artificial life forms, media viruses, robot psychology,
> and inter-species cultures. They flirt with the possibility of a
> "post-human" future in which the paradigm of art and civilization
> gives way to a hyper-biology of emergent processes. A HYPER-RUNT might
> be seen as an ornery cultural lifeform, an elan vital, unexpectedly
> rearing its head in the turmoil brewing between artist, audience,
> technology, and ecosystem."
