Protein° favourite, Chris Reas has a new show of his work at the bitforms gallery in NYC called Process/Drawing. If you are in the area, I'd recommend you go check it. Runs until 2 April.
Some hype: The work in Process/Drawing employs ideas explored in conceptual and minimal artworks as focused through the contemporary lens of C.E.B Reas, a member of a new generation of artists using software as their preferred medium. Reas’s software and images are derived from short text instructions explaining processes which define networks. The instructions are expressed in different media including natural language, machine code, computer simulations, and static images. Each translation reveals a different perspective on the process and combines with the others to form a more complete representation. He employs the paradox in the qualitative nature of human perception and the quantitative rules which define digital culture. Relations are created between evolved natural systems and engineered synthetic systems. Organic form emerges from precise mechanical structures. Strict minimal rules are tempered with intuition to form dense kinetic surfaces.
