David Bowen’s Data Sweep: Tech Meets Art @ Esther Klein
David Bowen’s Data Sweep
Philadelphia’s Esther Klein Gallery opens their newest exhibit, Data Sweep: David Bowen, this Friday, January 14th… and they are inviting all of you geeks to attend. Why? Well, Art in America’s review of Bowen described his artistic process as an “absurdist approach to the translation of scientific technology into art.”
Scientific technology into art? That’s right. You heard me. This exhibit is for you, kids.
In a release from the Esther Klein Gallery, the curator explains that “Bowen’s work creates a strange symbiosis between technology and the natural world.” In exhibit, “Mircocontrollers translate the activity of natural agents, like a swarm of flies or live data from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration data buoy stations around the globe, into mechanical motion that animates his art.”
The exhibit will be on view at EKG from January 14th through March 20th, with a grand opening reception this Friday. For more information, visit the Esther Klein Gallery’s official website.
