Collectors Opportunity: One-time Signed and Numbered Twitterscapes

In: Conceptual Art, Exhibitions

An upcoming show featuring Twitterscapes has enabled me to open up a special opportunity to print a collector's edition. This is a unique chance to buy a Twitterscape at a larger format, signed and numbered; the first of their kind. Available here.

It’s going to be an exciting year for me as an artist. This spring, I’ll be attending SXSWi in Austin, then flying off to Paris in June - undoubtedly to see lots of artwork and sniff out a few galleries, hopefully. This March will also mark 1 year since Twitterscapes were first introduced to the public at Chroma Gallery, and as part of Creative Albuquerque’s Women in Creativity series, I’ve decided to share Twitterscapes again, this time at Petroglyph, with an exhibit of images that were produced as the first Twitterscapes, before the code in the script was set. There are up to 40 of these I could show as the progression the images took, though I dare say, I’m limited to showing only a few of these by cost.

The Story behind Twitterscapes

In case you don’t already know, Twitterscapes are images created from data provided by Twitter. The program, written by me exclusively to create Twitterscapes, pulls the users tweets out of Twitter’s Application Programming Interface (API) as well as information about the users who authored said tweets, matches the colors …

Exhibit: Infomatic Aesthetic at Flying Star Cafe

In: Conceptual Art, Conceptual Art Examples, Conceptual Art Theory, Exhibitions

Five very recent abstract paintings in Latex are now hanging at the Flying Star in Downtown Albuquerque, New Mexico. The artwork selected for this show fits the "Infomatic Aesthetic" my latex paintings often follow.

I’m pleased to have just returned from installing five paintings in the Downtown Albuquerque Flying Star Cafe. Not only is the location frequented by thousands of people in a month but its decor is retro-modern, complete with bright colors and high ceilings. I’ve never hung my artwork anywhere like it, but I have to say it looks fan-tabulous. The show will be up for three months, so the exposure it will bring to my aesthetic will be invaluable.

The work at Flying Star includes Diptych, Sometimes We Know Differently (we don’t forget), Untitled, and two new paintings without images on this website: Scare and Blue Day. Blue Day is a diptych of the same dimensions of Sometimes We Know Differently and Scare is a progression of the thick application technique also used in Chase. All of this work is done on Latex on Canvas and involves Pixels. I’m noticing growth in the popularity of my “infomatic aesthetic” artwork - the work in this show was picked out directly from their listings on this website, and the new ones were brought along despite having no images and were included for fitting in well with the others.
