Event Information:
Evolve Revolve by Kristin Trethewey
This sculpture uses time-lapse photographs of a plant’s growth, which rotate around a circular terrarium encasing the live plant inside. Users interact with the piece by rotating the sculpture to “bring the plant to life” through the surrounding moving images. As the images of the plant’s life move around the plant in the terrarium, the magic of photography gives us a secondary perspective of its growth and development. The viewer controls the speed and direction of the sculpture allowing for a unique observation.
Mirrored reflections and layers of glass represent the photographic lens that aids us in generating these perspectives. Both the artist and the scientist study nature and wonder at its secrets. This sculpture places the viewer in the age-old position of contemplating the plant and its silent mystery.
About the Artist
Kristin Trethewey is an installation and video artist based in Brooklyn. She is finishing a Master of Fine Arts at Brooklyn College in Performance and Interactive Media. Through her research she has begun working with John Marra and Brett Branco, professors in the Geology department at Brooklyn College. Her work explores the use of photography by both the science and art disciplines and its focus on the study of nature. Over the course of the year this project has evolved through a series of discussions, the use of science department equipment and shadowing the work of Brett Branco in the collection of data from the Prospect Park Lake, located outside the Audubon Centre. Informed by this interaction, Kristin has been producing time-lapse photography of plants and an interactive installation, which repurposes this visual information. The ongoing data collected from the lake will be used to build an upcoming installation interpreting the subtle changes in the lakes composition.
About the Performances
From 2:30PM-3PM Phillip Gulley, Emily Schleiner and Justin Riley will present work developed through PIMA. This showcase samples some of PIMA’s dedicated artists who progress the forms of collaboration and interdisciplinary performance. If you haven’t seen PIMA in action this will be a great opportunity.
Interdisciplinary exchanges welcome!!!
Phillip Gulley “I Need You to Be”
Is a sound piece with live performer. Crafted with Audacity and Ableton Live from found sounds, field recordings and interviews then processed as necessary. It is a piece for two sound sources, a performer, and wine; a piece for forgetting and regretting. This work is about love.

Emily Schleiner, “divination2.0”
Emily Schleiner will be presenting a project called divination2.0. This project took the form of an interactive installation in April of 2010 at a sound studio in Brooklyn, NY.
Including a stop-motion film of a machine-parts-Mandala, a meditative environment, a responsive image collage from Google, and computer-culture-derived divination readings, the project provides a consciousness shift during a computer session.
Justin Riley, MobilVideoModulator (M.V.M.)

A QUESTION OF DOMAIN: ART ABOUT ATLANTIC YARDS
"Ground has been broken at Atlantic Yards, Freddy's relocated, and Daniel Goldstein
accepted 3 million dollars for his apartment. The sidewalk's closed and the Brooklyn
Skyline is about to change forever. What's left to do or say? Before Barclay's takes over
and we don our Nets gear together, come celebrate the site and our last gleaming hope
of redemption. Part blessing, part revenge fantasy, and part electric synthonic opera, A QUESTION OF DOMAIN is aroving art
adventure in celebration and lamentation of the Atlantic Yards."
A semester long investigation of the Atlantic Yards controversy, led by artists in
residence Stephan Moore and Scott Smallwood, has resulted in five distinct projects
reflecting on the emotional landscape of Downtown Brooklyn and its adjacent neighborhoods. The project will be
presented in two parts on the evening of Friday, May 21, 2010.
Event-goers are asked to meet at 6:30 PM at a U-Haul truck in front of the playground
between Dean and Bergen Streets (at 6th Avenue), Brooklyn. A small reception featuring
food and drink will be followed by a procession. A ritual blessing and musical lamentation
of the Atlantic Yards site will take place.
At 8:00pm, the event will continue at Southpaw with two interactive installation, one featuring
animations of the revenge fantasies of surveyed residents of downtown Brooklyn, the other, Co-
projected footage including New Jearsy Nets games, the video art of Donald O'Finn
(previously seen at Freddy's Bar and Backroom), as well as live video feed.
At 8:30, an electric synthonic opera about the present struggle, ongoing destruction, and
tentative future of the site, will commence. Finally, DJ Riles of Brooklyn will lead an interactive dance
party, with “MobilVideoModulator” in celebration of the neighborhood.
The work is part of a twelve week collaborative seminar, exploring public art,
performance and new media. The project is in solidarity of artists and community
members who have reflected on,
fought for, and continue to live in the Downtown Brooklyn area, and those who have
been relocated to make room for the Brooklyn Nets Arena.
