 PUBLIC PROGRAMS

 

Ceci Moss

Curating in a Computer World

1 – 2pm

 

 

YBCA’s Assistant Curator of Visual Arts, Ceci­ Moss, will discuss Control: Technology in Culture, a new exhibition series in YBCA’s Upstairs Galleries that showcases the work of emerging and mid-career artists who examine the social, cultural, and experiential implications of technology. The solo exhibitions in this series seek to prompt timely questions about the profound and far-reaching influence of technology in our daily lives by focusing on artists whose work spans a multitude of disciplines and relates to a diverse set of issues, including architecture, acoustics, psychology, labor, consumerism, the environment, and the military. How do artists engage the deeply political impact of technology on our world, both in the gallery and beyond? How do we support a thoughtful dialogue about the effect of technology through art in the San Francisco Bay Area, which is the heart of the global tech industry? Moss will present on the process, research and concept behind the series, reviewing the current Control exhibition Jacqueline Kiyomi Gordon: It Only Happens All the Time as well as previewing upcoming shows.

Her writing has appeared in Rhizome, ArtAsiaPacific, Artforum, The Wire, Performa Magazine, and various art catalogues.

Rafaël Rozendaal 

2:30 – 3:30pm

 

“I will talk about my work, how I make it, why I make it,
and how it mutates to different media.”

 

 

Rafaël Rozendaal is a visual artist who uses the internet as his canvas. His artistic practice consists of websites, installations, lenticulars, writings and lectures. Spread out over a vast network of domain names, he attracts a large online audience of over 30 million visits per year. His work researches the screen as a pictorial space, reverse engineering reality into condensed bits, in a space somewhere between animated cartoons and paintings. His installations involve moving light and reflections, taking online works and transforming them into spatial experiences. He also created BYOB (Bring Your Own Beamer), an open source DIY curatorial format that is spreading across the world rapidly.
