"Refraction is the change in direction of a wave when it enters a medium, for instance, a ray of light entering water. Hypermnesia is a state of highly developed memory, based on registering experiences by associating them to mentally created images. In-between these two states of transformation and invention lies interpretation and the unfolding of narrative" - George Legrady.
The exhibit includes eight black and white compositions, each consisting of three different photographs interlaced together with a lenticular process. The exhibition also includes two new dynamically generated installation animations. Using his unique processes, Legrady creates works in which movement alters their narrative potential of the image. The exhibition is accompanied by a catalog featuring an essay by noted critic and art historian, Abigail Solomon-Godeau.

City Life
"City Life" is a generative art expressing a space and time in which city and artificial life coexist. The artists group A.N. (Haru Ji and Graham Wakefield) creates a "world-as-it-could-be", following an biological analog of a metropolis in which the subject is not the citizens, but the city itself.
The work is a site-specific generative video for the Seoul Square venue - a media facade of 99x78m located in the heart of Seoul's cityscape - under the theme of "Urban Organism: Triangle Screenscape" by NMARA (nmara.net).
"City Life" screening times are:
Oct 11 - 7:00 to 7:10, 11:00 to 11:10

The premiere presentation of the situation polar m [mirrored] by Carsten Nicolai and Marko Peljhan will be presented on Saturday November 13, 2010, at the YCAM Center in Yamaguchi, Japan. The installation explores natural radiation phenomena and confronts them with the limits of human sensorial perception. Our understanding of the basic indeterminancy and the non-linear intelligence that one finds in nature's apparent randomness and noise, is limited by the physical characteristics of our senses. The installation offers an unusual insight into the complexity of those natural structures. Like its predecessor project, polar, that was created at the Canon Artlab in Tokyo in 2000 and that won the Prix Ars Electronica for Interactive Art in 2001, polar m [mirrored] was created by the German artist Carsten Nicolai and the Slovenian artist Marko Peljhan. The exhibition is curated by Yukiko Shikata (guest curator) and Kazunao Abe (YCAM).
The project is part of the demonstration initiatives of the UCIRA Integrative Methodologies ART/SCIENCE series and was in part supported by the MAT program at UC Santa Barbara.

W. Patrick McCray is a professor in the History Department at UCSB. McCray entered the historians’ profession via his background in materials science and engineering. His doctoral research examined the culture and technology of glassmaking in Renaissance Venice. Since 1996, he has written widely on the history of science and technology after 1945 including two books: Giant Telescopes: Astronomical Ambition and the Promise of Technology (Harvard University Press, 2004) is an exploration of the politics, policy, and technology behind the current generation of ground-based telescopes while Keep Watching the Skies: The Story of Operation Moonwatch and the Dawn of the Space Age (Princeton University Press, 2008) chronicles the activities of citizen-scientists who organized a global network of satellite spotters during the Cold War.
When he arrived at UCSB, McCray became more interested in the history of nanotechnology and how it intersected with his prior research on the history of materials. He is a founding member and co-PI for the NSF-funded Center for Nanotechnology in Society at UCSB. He currently leads one of the CNS’s research initiatives; this explores the history of nanotechnology and its place in the broader context of the 20th century science and technology.
As a historian, McCray is fascinated by the visions of the future that litter the past. He is currently writing a new book about "visioneers" - people who used their technical expertise to promote visions of a more expansive future made possible by the technologies they studied, designed, and promoted. In 2010-11, he shared a Collaborative Research Fellowship from the American Council of Learned Societies with Cyrus Mody (Rice University) and Mara Mills (NYU) which will help support the writing of this book as well as a new project on "high tech intellectuals".
In addition to this research, McCray is starting a new pilot project which considers the interaction between scientists, engineers, and artists during the first three decades of the Cold War. He is especially interested in the motives and ways these communities collaborated with one another, how Cold-War derived technologies such as lasers and digital computers were enlisted for artistic purposes, and the presence of Cold War themes such as nuclear war, cybernetics, and the Space Race in art from the 1950s, 60s, and 70s.
"Transmegalpolis", a digital print created in 2006, combines maps for 7 of the world’s 10 most-used metro systems (Tokyo, Moscow, Seoul, New York, Paris, Mexico City, London) forming a single map for an imagined megalopolis. These maps were digitally manipulated and arranged to appear as a connected whole, while each map remains recognizable to those familiar with that system.
"PLATFORM" is an exhibition to bolster the careers of young international artists though the submission and display of two-dimensional printed media in order to benefit both the community and artists by creating a bridge between the individuals, communities and cultures. As a program of the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center (IHC), PLATFORM works with the resources that the IHC provides such as a space in which to show the work, printing facilities and exposure to a diverse audience.
More information about the exhibition may be found at: PLATFORM.

This exhibition is part of a cycle of works exploring the relationship between ancient and contemporary worldviews in the context of emerging global culture. In doing so, it encounters a vast scope of human history and culture, from past to present, from the Mediterranean to Asia, from Aton (and Ikhnaton) to atoms, from Zeus Ammon to amino-acids. Operating in a consciously syncretic mode, it interwines our scientific understanding of how we literally assemble ourselves, in a molecular sense, with a secularized pagan/polytheistic awareness of the realignment of nature through localized wonder.

"We Are Stardust" traces the history of the earth-orbiting Spitzer satellite telescope's 36034 observations between 2003 and 2008. A heat sensing camera in the exhibition gallery space sequentially replays the satellite's angle of view picking up the presence of any spectators within the camera's point of view. The image is superimposed with data retrieved from the telescope's log that correlates with the current angle of view, such as the observation's number, name of the celestial body target, the vertical and horizontal angles, the observation date, duration, with name of the chief researcher, and which of the 3 onboard instrument was used. The universe is represented by the rectangular space defined by the 4 corner markers.
The work was commissioned by the Art Center College of Design, and NASA's Spitzer Science Center at the California Institute of Technology. The installation was featured in the "OBSERVE" exhibition at the Art Center College of Design between October 10, 2008 and January 11, 2009. NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope is a sun-orbiting, infrared observatory, managed by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory that completed its mission in the spring of 2009. Additional funding received from the office of the Dean, HFA, UCIRA, and FLIR Systems. Two MAT PhD students participated in the project's development: Javier Villegas (engineering) and Andes Burbano (research).

This exhibit is part of the "Rites of Passage" exhibition at The Cooper Union in New York, and was created specifically for The Cooper Union's new academic building. It presents sounds associated with artistic creation in various media, from brushstrokes to mouse clicks and electric hum. The installation contains an array of speakers placed along the railing of a staircase. However, rather than representing each media type individually, the various sounds elements presented accumulate and are transformed through audio processing techniques representative of the newly introduced media type. These sound elements are paired with the sound of human voice, which undergoes similar sonic transformations (vocals by Katherine Saxon).
The installation suggests that, rather than replacing one another, artistic practices accumulate and evolve along with technological advancement. By representing coexisting artistic media, the work proposes that artistic development originates from integration. The installation deliberately views artistic advancement from a technological perspective, combining the aesthetic and technical to both reflect the current state of The Cooper Union, and suggests the potential it has in encouraging further collaboration between engineering and the arts.
