1. TURBULENCE@PACEDIGITALGALLERY3: WOODEAR by Peter Traub with Jennifer Lauren Smith April 16-May 3, 2013 Opening Reception: April 16; 5:00 - 7:00 pm Pace Digital Gallery, NYC http://csis.pace.edu/digitalgallery/woodear/ Commissioned specifically for Pace Digital Gallery WoodEar, the installation, expands into the gallery the software that launched on Turbulence.org in 2012. The work attempts to merge the dynamic qualities of the biological network of a tree -- roots gathering water and nutrients; leaves using sunlight to produce food; and phloem and xylem moving water and nutrients across the structure -- with the digital network of the Internet. A series of sensors attached to the tree stream data on the state of its environment -- light, temperature, air pressure, and wind. This live data, merged with images and recordings of the tree’s immediate surroundings, is made audible and visible in the gallery. With public funds from the National Endowment for the Arts and the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs. More info here: http://csis.pace.edu/digitalgallery/woodear/ 2.

TURBULENCE COMMISSION: "SUBMERSIBLE" BY YOTAM MANN AND NIV BAVARSKY http://turbulence.org/works/submersible [View in Chrome or Safari with Speakers/Headphones] You are at a helm of a submarine navigating the depths of the ocean. At each strata, you see and hear different organisms. In the sunny epipelagic zone, watch the fast and massive tuna swim by in schools. Or catch a glimpse of the rare sea pig in the darkness of the abyssopelagic. Each of these organisms contributes a spatialized motif to the evolving soundscape. "Submersible" is a 2013 commission of New Radio and Performing Arts, Inc. for its Turbulence website. It was made possible with funds from the Jerome Foundation.
