Up Now at the Boston Harbor Islands Pavilion (between State St. & Atlantic Ave.) is Life: 44013 by digital artist Alexander Reben.
Reben’s work takes real-time water turbidity information from buoy 44013 in Boston Harbor.  In this case, turbidity is determined by plankton count and it is matched with water temperature to see how quickly the marine environment will encourage life.  The data “seeds” the community you see on the screen.  The community can grow if the conditions are right.   Colors change from green to blue to red. When the new community reaches equilibrium, the program calculates a score to determine successful growth.  Then the sequence resets and starts again.

The Frame In Contemporary New Media Art

Join us Wednesday, May 22 at 7:30pm for an ATNE salon with ASPECT founder, Michael Mittleman.

The frame around a painting serves to indicate where the art begins and ends, and modernist painters were among the first to experiment with the mutability of that boundary.  Traditional sculpture uses a pedestal for the same purpose, but what about video art, installation, and other forms of New Media?  Michael Mittelman,  founder of ASPECT: The Chronicle of New Media Art,  will show ways in which artists have used the concept of the frame to guide viewers.
