Drowning The Mouth Breathers ------


Dates:
Thu Jul 09, 2015 13:00 - Sat Jul 25, 2015

Location:
New York, New York
United States of America

Drowning The Mouth Breathers ———– is part of a larger, ongoing project called The Mouth Breathers, a group of non­humans created to reveal the failures inherent in our technological relationships. Through the recognition of these failures, we are able to redefine success in a technological world too focused on innovation to see its impacts on society. Debuting at AC Institute, RYAN WURST’S multimedia installation forces The Mouth Breathers into a perpetual act of inhalation in order to awaken us to the emptiness of the technological vacuum that we live in.

Biography
RYAN WURST is an artist, musician, and curator currently pursuing his PhD at CU Boulder in Intermedia, Writing, and Performance Art. In addition to founding The Midnight Brigade gallery in Minneapolis, Wurst’s solo projects have been shown nationally. His music can be found under such pseudonyms as Yellow Hyper Balls, pleasurlife, Soul Tangler, and more.

Wickerham & Lomax |Swiper, no swiping!|


Dates:
Thu Jun 25, 2015 18:00 - Wed Jul 08, 2015

Location:
New York, New York
United States of America

Wickerham & Lomax seek to expand modes of living, viewing, and participating by employing the use of cultural practices, varied forms of communication, and the language of the digital environment to arrive at a practice where approach and presentation are the main subjects and not merely process.

Wickerham & Lomax have developed a searching, nuanced practice that applies a keen critical intuition and fine-tuned irreverence to the problems and potentialities of our contemporary media ecology. Working across diverse media, curatorial platforms, and institutional contexts, they have created a body of work at once context-specific and broadly engaged with networked virtualities. Currently focused on the deviation from the digital space to the physical space, they have developed a digital narrative franchise entitled BOY’Dega, which considers the dissolving hierarchy between actor, author, fan, and character. Here, as in much of their work, supplementals—flyers, interviews, trailers, gossip, hearsay, press releases, pre-production, and posters — are foregrounded, allowing them to meditate on obsolescence, trends, connectivity, and marginality.
