The collision of art and technology within the other half from the twentieth century from kinetic art sculptures and Op art works of art to multimedia installations and animated films may be the focus of Ghosts within the Machine, an intriguing new exhibition in the New Museum in New You are able to.
The focal point from the show, viewable within the image gallery above, is really a re-development of the film-Drome, a fantastical structure devised through the late artist and broadened cinema pioneer Stan VanDerBeek in early sixties.
VanDerBeek s Movie-Drome was made to be an immersive multimedia experience, with constantly shifting pictures blanketing every inch from the geodesic dome s interior. Within the sixties, using the analog technology available at that time, the film-Drome would be a difficult project to drag off technically. Now, nearly half a century later, Vanderbeek s vision is way simpler to employ.
Other attributes of the show have an early type of the Voder, an ancestor from the modern vocoder, developed at Bell Labs within the late nineteen thirties sketches and schematics by Rube Goldberg photographs by Harold Doc Edgerton works of art by Op art pioneers Bridget Riley and Victor Vasarely along with a re-development of the late Pop art pioneer Richard Hamilton s 1955 photo exhibition Guy, Machine, and Motion.
Ghosts within the Machine is in view in the New Museum of recent Art in New You are able to City until Sept. 30.
