15th March – 15th May 2010
Streaming Museum has opened “The Poetics of Code” with “HD Traffic” by John F. Simon, Jr, and “Lagoglyphs” by Eduardo Kac. Code lies at the core of both works as method and meaning. In HD Traffic, Simon built with software code an architectural Mondrian-inspired work designed to integrate real-time traffic data flow. Kac's series of lagoglyphs in diverse artforms, reference and expand upon his controversial genetically altered Alba the GFP Bunny 2000. The real-time animations, flowing and reconfiguring themselves, place emphasis on the generative mutability of writing and the encoded nature of life.
The exhibition will be on view on streamingmuseum.org and throughout the museum’s pubic space network including Federation Square, Melbourne; 17 BBC screens throughout the UK; Cocor MediaChannel, Bucharest; Argentine scientific bases in Antarctica; Art Center Nabi, Seoul; Utsikten Kunstenter, Kvinesdal, Norway, and other locations.
