Exchange: A lecture by Reva Stone

Video Pool's current Artist in Residence, Reva Stone

COST: Free to Video Pool members
# PARTICIPANTS: limited to 20
PRE-REQUISITE: none
DATE: Tuesday, November 13 from 7pm to 8:30pm

For most of her art practice, Reva Stone has been developing computer-assisted installations that explore the ways in which biotechnology, genetic engineering and autonomous robots are radically altering the ways in which we imagine living matter.

In her Artist Residency at Video Pool, she has been working on Exchange, an interactive entity whose consciousness appears to reside in a computer. The work uses still images, video, video capture, text, recorded audio, voice recognition and face recognition. They function together as a window into the entity’s mind and read as memory and presence. She will be talking about the ideas she is working with, presenting the work in progress, and looking for feedback.
