LIQUID SPACES
brings together the work of five young Israelis living and working
in New York. They all come from very different backgrounds -
industrial design, literature and film, music, architecture,
and photography - and the common thread that connects them is
the fact that their works are all digital, shifting from their
electronic encryptions into material manifestations in the exhibition
space. Daniel Rozin's Wooden Mirror, Trash Mirror, and Shiny
Balls Mirror entice the visitor to reflect on, and be reflected
by, their transformative surfaces. Tirtza Even invites the visitor
to navigate her liquid landscapes through digital intervention,
a transforming agency granted by the artist to the user to produce
new variations across non-linear pathways. Amit Pitaru plays
with animated drawings and painted images through computer coding,
whilst Ruth Ron and Inbar Barak's installation allows gallery
visitors to see through walls, with Superman-like X-ray vision,
into the museum's hidden spaces.
In all these works, the ever-changing
flow and real-time transmission of data from the Internet
or television interrupts the passivity of the artifact, while,
at the same time, intervention by the visitor challenges the
traditional role of the viewer in the gallery. LIQUID SPACES
offers new perspectives for the visitor as he or she interacts
with the works and becomes instantly transformed into an actor
on the electronic stage.
