Experiments in art : digital : life

New painting in progress…more details on a summer show to come…

Our latest video entitled, Data Loss, will be premiering this Friday, March 16 at Links Hall in Chicago as part of Arte No Es Facil. Data Loss is comprised of the binary translation of all communication between the artists and their partners in Cuba as they attempted to configure and realize a work in partnership. Simultaneously confronting the limitations and possibilities of digital communication, language, and physical distance, Data Loss is the story of the creative potential so often lost in translation.

ARTE NO ES FÁCIL is a project “based in creating relationships beyond pictures between Cuba and the US through the manifestation of art. The project seeks to create a two-way passage for dialogue, collaboration, and information between our two countries by establishing connections between artists separated by location and context, yet sharing an interest in form, content or strategy.”

The Year of the Rope.jpg is slow going, but enjoyable. Meditative. A friend saw it from a distance and thought that it was a winter landscape…I hit the 5000 mark on December 19, 2011. Here are a couple of images:

Today we sold the pixelated guitar that we created as part of our MFA thesis exhibition. The guitar has quite a storied history in its own right, and was given to us by my aunt in 2008. It played a major role in our debut EP, Ironing is the New Boring. When it died in 2009, we decided to paint it as a tribute.
