Synthetic Times-Media Art China 2008 preview programming

April 15, 8:00 pm - 10:00 pm

Jeff Crouse, Stephanie Rothenberg, Taeyoon Choi, Friedrich Kirschner

Eyebeam Art & Technology Center

540 W 21st St
From 8 - 10PM on Tuesday, April 15, following a day-long symposium at Parsons, Eyebeam will feature a reception and performances by Eyebeam artists Jeff Crouse, Stephanie Rothenberg, Taeyoon Choi, and Friedrich Kirschner in conjunction with NYC's Synthetic Times-Media Art China 2008 preview programming.

The performances will include senior fellow Jeff Crouse and alum Stephanie Rothenberg's Invisible Threads - a designer jeans sweatshop that operates across the virtual and real worlds by employing Second Life labor to produce real-world jeans. Simulating a real life manufacturing facility, the project provides an insider's view into current modes of global, telematic production. Eyebeam visitors will be able to place live orders for their own Double Happiness designer jeans during the April 15 evening event.

Taeyoon Choi, recipient of Eyebeam's 2008 Commission for Resident Artists*, and the inventor of Camerautomata "Charlie", will unveil his magical image-defecating duck. The Eyebeam event offers a unique viewing and demonstration of the project before it is unleashed in Central Park and other public spaces in New York City.

Eyebeam Production Fellow Friedrich Kirschner will present The Marionette Couple, an experimental piece in which two digital puppets are controlled by actual strings.
