Diane Ludin + Angie Eng

Harvestworks is pleased to present works by Artist In Residence Diane Ludin and Angie Eng. In MEMORYFLESH 2.0, Diane Ludin has assembled media collages that summarize a variety of stories about the human genome's emergence as a voice of scientific authority and DNA as a rising world power. A fake suturing process is the performative gesture that drives the mixing of Internet media. MENOBILE, by Angie Eng (with sound by David Weinstein), is a new media interactive performance that explores the transition of ones perception from a static life to a nomadic one. Interactive video and sound via Jitter/MAX/SP is used to recreate the poetics of mobility in this multi-projection project.

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 7:00pm; 596 Broadway, Suite 602, New York City, 10012/corner of Broadway & Houston; subway: Broadway/Lafayette (F/V), Bleecker (6), Prince St. (N/R); 212-431-1130 (p), 212-431-7693(f); Suggested Donation $5.00.

Diane Ludin is an artist and writer using the Internet as a material resource since 1996. She recycles existing Internet news media to collage a series of automated records of contemporary communication. Her montages focus on framing the Virtual Body as an almost reality and the core of "embodiment." She has exhibited both her solo and collaborative works in the US and abroad. Commissioned works include Internet projects for The Walker Art Center, Franklin Furnace, Turbulence.org and The Alternative Museum. Collaborative performances and broadcasts with The Electronic Disturbance Theater, FAKESHOP, Las Fantasmas, Prema Murthy, Francesca DiRimini, Ricardo Dominguez, and Agnese Trocchi.
