Contemporary Art: Impressions From The Hole, New York

 

(Drivebycuriosity) - Some galleries have funny names. "The Hole" on Manhattan`s Bowery (312 Bowery, New York  theholenyc) seems to specialize in experimental art. Currently they have 2 interesting exhibitions, which get a lot attention:


Above some impressions from the show: Katsu: "Memory Foam". The press release explains, the "new media artist KATSU has created a lot of street art and shared a lot of subversive computer work; this is his second exhibition with us under the name.  Using drone paintings, wallpaper, AI criminal portraits and a new VR piece in this exhibition, KATSU looks deeper at how machine learning is outstripping emotional intelligence "(more here katsu).


Above an impression from Ben Jones: Road Trip II, which is a single immersive video piece. The press release says: "The work is based on early front-scrolling driving games like Out Run or Pole Position and is a video-mapped composition covering three walls and the gallery floor. Viewers can walk into the piece and into the world Jones creates with 8-bit sound and imagery" (Ben Jones).

Stay tuned.
