Exhibition and live performance are placed between art and design, focussing on the experimental handling of new media.
No other field in those 'new media' is as cutting-edge and thrilling as 'generative software', in which certain rules
and systems create graphics or music.
Core of the exhibition is an installation that treats a graphic character ('gonzo') with generative scripting and random algorithm in a graphical splatter way. Besides the character the design and programming of rules and systems are the essential part of the artistic work. The idea of 'gonzos wired, live' is to use methods and scripting concepts of 'generative art' but against the usual pixel purism of this genre have also an eye on a sensible aesthetics.
The exhibition shows large canvas prints of vector-snapshots and an interactive terminal version.
The 3-people live set will be played at the opening. Sound-legend Hans Platzgumer (Convertible, Stonji, Queen of Japan) is going to be the audio-magician. Three machines and three humans will be circle-connected sending signals and using feedbacks based on Flash, Processing, Midi and Ableton Live.
