529 W 20th Stbitforms gallery is pleased to announce the first solo exhibition by artist Golan Levin. Known for his work in audiovisual performance and interactive software art, Levin presents five intimate new systems at bitforms gallery. A rare opportunity to experience Levin's work firsthand, this exhibition will conclude with an artist's talk at the gallery on 12 January, 2008 at 4:00 PM.
Levin's new works signal a shift in his interests toward spectatorship and the human gaze as a means of activating visual art experiences. The presence and imagery in most of these pieces is constructed from the artworks' own history of being observed.
Golan Levin's (b. 1972, New York) work combines equal measures of the whimsical, the provocative, and the sublime in a wide variety of online, installation and performance media. He is known for the conception and creation of Dialtones: A Telesymphony, a concert whose sounds are wholly performed through the carefully choreographed dialing and ringing of the audience's own mobile phones, and for interactive information visualizations like The Secret Lives of Numbers and The Dumpster, which offer novel perspectives onto millions of online communications. Levin's other recent performance and installation projects use augmented-reality technologies to create real-time, multi-person visualizations of their participants' speech and gestures.
Levin's work has been presented in the 2004 Whitney Biennial, the New Museum of Contemporary Art, the Kitchen, and the Neuberger Museum, all in New York; the Ars Electronica Center in Linz, Austria; The Museum of Contemporary Art in Taipei, Taiwan; the NTT InterCommunication Center (ICC) in Tokyo, Japan; and the Zentrum für Kunst und Medientechnologie (ZKM) in Karlsruhe, Germany, among other venues. His funding credits include grants from Creative Capital, The New York State Council on the Arts, the Rockefeller MAP Fund, The Greenwall Foundation, the Langlois Foundation, and the Arts Council of England. Levin received undergraduate and graduate degrees from the MIT Media Laboratory, where he studied in the Aesthetics and Computation Group. Presently Levin is Associate Professor of Electronic Time-Based Art at Carnegie Mellon University, where he also holds Courtesy Appointments in the School of Computer Science and the School of Design.
