San Francisco-based, MIT-educatedJim Campbell is known for his
"conceptually rigorous, poetically inventive and technically
masterful" works in which digital information and video imagery
are the media. In this exhibition of new technology-based work
Campbell furthers his explorations of perception, time and
memory.
The pixel, representing the digitization of information, is the
key
to the exhibition. Individually and collectively pixels serve
both
to reveal and conceal information.
This exhibition will debut a new group of L.E.D. pieces called
"Motion and Rest" with imagery based upon the movements
of
people with physical disabilities. Additional L.E.D. pieces in
this
show are related to the works that will open the same week at
the Whitney Biennial Exhibition.
