Title: World of Awe IP play: An invitation to click
Hello everyone,
During the opening tonight at AIR gallery [info below] I will hand-draw visitors' tracking information over c-prints of the sunset/sunrise terrain. The drawings will contain data from today. I obtain this data as visitors' move through the site, in the form of a simple line of data: date/time/IP/page visited, gathered in a common log file.
By clicking through the site one adds content of the drawings. It's 2:35 New York time right now. The opening is at 7:00. This is an invitation to click. If you know your IP address, please send me an email with the number. I would include the identification in the drawings.

Cheers,
Yael Kanarek

Technically Engaged presents new and ongoing artworks from New York-based women and their collaborators who work in the digital realm. Diverse in their subjects and method of engagement with the digital, these artists will present work that traces and tracks the flow of information and persons, as well as the flow of cultural knowledge. This exhibition proposal arose out of a series of group meetings where the artists shared their current work and discussed what it means for them to engage, as women, with the digital.
Yael Kanarek will create an installation extending her ongoing Web project, World of Awe, an online journal and virtual environment describing the adventures of a traveler in search of lost treasure. The installation will contain two components: a computer running a local version of the World of Awe Web site and two drawings on C-prints created in situ at the exhibition opening on January 6th of World of Awe's digital desert landscape that evidence the travel of visitors through of the Web site.
Diane Ludin's Data Mirror: Touchable Video is a semi-interactive installation focused on the emerging data interface used to draft a working copy of the Human Genome. This installation will include two touch screen monitors, a video switcher, computer and wall collage of data sequences from the publicly funded governmental database used to record the research and development of code in assembling a working copy of the Human Genome.
Jennifer and Kevin McCoy's Every Shot Every Episode is a visualized database in which television shots are categorized, rationalized, and displayed with custom media players. The computer has underlined the play of surfaces that structure our consumption of media. In this piece, television is reexamined as a data field in which meaning is generated in a new, critical, way from the same old material. Each day, three different categories will be on view.
Tina LaPorta's Re:mote_corp@REALities is a video and sound installation that explores the desire for communication between geographically separated participants mediated by the surface of the computer screen. In Re:mote_corp@REALities, video clips from CUseeMe online chat sessions simulated by LaPorta dissolve one into the next, while an audio track based on various interviews fills the gallery with sound. Both the artist and viewers are �witness to an emerging intersubjectivity-- a syntax unique to on-line culture.�
Technically Engaged is part of the e.mergence series at AIR Gallery, which features presentations and exhibition opportunities for women working in digital, electronic, and new media art. Since the first event in January 2000, e.mergence has expanded to include opportunities to curators working with new media and web-based artists. With this series, AIR hopes to provide exposure, discussion, and resources for those working with and interested in digital media. E.mergence is organized by debra l. hampton and Sheila Manion Artz.
Support and funding for this exhibition is provided by:
Louise McCagg, artist, AIR member
