Algorithmia is a multi-media art exhibition existing in two spaces: a traditional gallery space in San Francisco, California and a virtual exhibition viewable on this website. Both will be open to the public from March 11 - 28, 2009.
By providing the public with both a real and virtual space to access the work, it is our intent to bring the exhibition to a broader audience, and provide the viewer with the ability to interact with the artwork in new and exciting ways both in the gallery setting and here on the website.
The artists included in this exhibition represent a wide array of backgrounds, not only geographically, but in the ways in which they interpret what is meant by algorithm. While theme, media and inturpretation of the curatorial basis for the exhibition differs greatly between the artists, all share one thing in common: the desire to stage a dialogue centered around process driven endeavors and problem solving.
Algorithmia presents 15 artists working in media/means that include: web, soft sculpture, installation, video, sensor interaction, a live fish maze, application design, psychological brainwave assessment, 3d animation, digital sound and image installation, memory assessment, and much more.
