(Exhibition catalog for WAVING / DROWING by pixelpusher)

An interactive exhibition by the multimedia artist, pixelpusher – http://pixelist.info/

I am very pleased to announce my first solo exhibition, WAVING/DROWNING, brought to you by Artsite in Swindon, UK.

This series of works in sculpture, interactive projection, archival digital prints explores the shape of the hand in a series of modern mystical symbols. Their meaning is uncertain, removed from their traditional context: are they waving at us, or flailing in a sea of lost meaning?

• The exhibition will run from 24 May to 29 May, 2010 from 11 AM until 4 PM.
• There will be an artists talk on Wednesday 26th May from 5PM until 7PM.
• There will be a closing reception / private view on Saturday, May 29 from 4PM until 7PM

All these events will be at The Post Modern, Theatre Square, Swindon, SN1 1QN.
From 24 May to 29 May, 2010.  Reception on Saturday, May 29.

A very limited number of signed, high-quality exhibition catalogs will be available for purchase at the gallery and artist’s talk, with a limited number of smaller versions given away free to visitors, while they last.

Please email info@pixelist.info if you are interested in purchasing prints of the works, or the works themselves.

Hand-waving-time-slices test

Originally uploaded by da mad pixelist

For an upcoming exhibition (my first solo exhibition) I’ve been working on a series of 5-7 new works, from interactive software to prints to sculpture. These tests are from a live capture of my hand opening and closing in front of a camera attached to the computer, using custom written software (a bit of OpenFrameworks and lots of standard C++) that exports each individual motion into a vector-graphics file (SVG) that I can edit and send to a laser-cutter (in our excellent arts workshops at UCA Farnham) to create a sculpture that solidifies the motion into a physical object.

This test is about 80% size, and about 25% of the total slices (the rest I will add this week). Its using 6mm plywood from the local building shop, and will be 78 unique slices in total when finished, connected together at the bottom via a metal cable.

24 May – 29 May – Waving / Drowning

An interactive exhibition by pixelpusher – pixelist.info/

This series of works re-imagines the artist’s hand in a number of different mediums as a series of modern mystical symbols. Their meaning is uncertain, removed from their traditional context: are they waving at us, or flailing in a sea of lost meaning?
