BRIAN HENRY machina ex machina
realtime NEW MEDIA works
projected and onscreen
If you think colors are pretty to look at and have no real impact on people, think again. Brian Henry converts Trifecta Gallery this February into an exhibition showing the power of color. Each viewer will be able to experience the show on their own terms.
Henry introduces a new concept and media for Trifecta Gallery. He tells his tale in the medium of digitally engineered hues, saturation, and the luminant properties of light. Each of the four pieces are inspired by four well known Greek myths. Icarus/wing shapes, Orpheus /shredded rope shapes, Achilles/ piercing triangles, and Narcissus/concentric rectangles transitioning from color to color.
The real work of the Artist however, is in the authoring of the programs. Coded sets of numbers, characters and letters specify that each composition has only two visual elements, each of which have at least 2 randomized values: color and opacity. Additionally, some of the programs incorporate the randomized values of speed, position, and number. The images generated are completely unique and unrepeating.
Machina ex Machina. Problem solved.
See you at the opening..... this Thursday 5pm.
