Time Mutations II

Co-curated with Max Neupert

Time Mutations II (Buffalo) is the second in a two-part series of collaborative exhibitions of new artworks created by practitioners from the Media Art & Design Program at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar and the departments of Media Study, Architecture, and Visual Studies at SUNY Buffalo. The initiating exhibition took place in August of 2011 at the Nietzsche-Gedächtnishalle in Weimar, Germany in collaboration with the International Pure Data Convention. Works include performance, installation, video, and sculpture by students, faculty, and alumni from both institutions.

Time Mutations II is presented in the University at Buffalo Art Gallery.

The exhibition explores the concepts, challenges, and potentials of the “broken timeline” – the linear and apportioned perception of time that electronic communications, digital editing, and global travel continually dismantles.  Uneasy navigations of technologically mediated time, in which the subject feels adrift between the shores of absolute and relative space-time, are particularly germane to an interaction between institutions separated by language, nationality, and time zones, but connected by a deep historical investment in experimental media practice.

In addition to presenting thematic projects, Time Mutations also intends to provide a platform for continuing creative interactions between Bauhaus-Universität Weimar and the State University at Buffalo’s physical and research localities.

For this exhibition we designed an integration between the wall labels and didactic text and the exhibition website.  Labels could be scanned via smartphone for additional information, videos, and links relating to the works and the artists.
