Tuesday, November 1st, 7PM – 9PM
The Upgrade! Boston presents Carmin Karasic and Sal Randolph
One November morning in 1994, Carmin Karasic was listening to digital artists on NPR, when she realized she was a digital artist trapped in a Fidelity Technical Project Manager’s body. This simple realization changed her life. So she traded the glory of Corporate America’s high tech management for the personal satisfaction of creating digital art.
Sal Randolph lives in New York and produces independent art projects involving gift economies and social architectures, including Free Words, Free Manifesta, and Opsound. She has recently been developing work in the areas of experiential and participatory art, including intheconversation (a website for texts on experiential art), and be something (a collaboration with performance artist Kathe Izzo). She works with sound as situationalaudio and as a member of the band Weapons of Mass Destruction, and she is also part of the psychogeographical artist network, Glowlab.

Art, Artists and Technology: Transformation Before Our Eyes

This salon, moderated by George Fifield, along with a group of artists and thinkers, will examine how technology has transformed artistic practices in the 21st century-from painting and sculpture to video, interactive installation, internet-based work and locative media projects. For some of these artists, the use of technology reflects their interest in science and technical disciplines such as engineering. Often, this work becomes an exciting intersection of scientific thought, artistic practice, and interdisciplinary questions.
Participants- Moderator: George Fifield, Curator New Media, Decordova Museum and Director, Boston Cyberarts; Ralph Helmick and Stu Schechter, Helmick+Schechter Sculpture. artist and artist/engineer/former rocket scientist; Jen Hall, Professor of New Media, Massachusetts College of Art and Director, Do While Studio; Teri Tueb, Professor Graduate Department of Digital Media, Rhode Island School of Design, Christopher Janney, Director, PhenomenArts, Inc., Interactive Art/Music/Architecture, Visiting Professor, The Copper Union School of Architecture, The Pratt School of Architecture.

Opening Reception for Glowlab: The Open Lab
Curated by Christina Ray
Friday, October 14th, 6pm – 9pm
In October 2005, Glowlab will present an 8-week site-specific installation at AI. Artists in residence each weekend will conduct artistic and psychogeographic experiments as the gallery is transformed into a working lab complete with video and web-based works and project documentation in the form of maps, photos and other materials. Artists — including Glowlab’s regular members as well as guest artists — will produce participatory projects in a variety of forms including instruction-based works, walking tours, mobile tech-based participatory works, performances, workshops and more.
In accordance with Glowlab’s focus on psychogeography, projects will be highly experimental and will take place not only in the gallery, but also in the public space surrounding the gallery. This approach will serve to engage AI visitors with the neighborhood and local community and expand their gallery experience to include the city as a whole.

Friday, October 7th, 9p – 12a
Bollywood elevates the hollywood musicals tradition to another level of mad production, drama and fever. jackbackrack pushes bollywood itself to even greater heights with his motion triggered visual reprocessing. Best of show dance music videos are sequenced together to form a fun filled audio / visual feast. This night forms both a fun introduction to as well as a favorites revue of the bollywood artform pushing feet and eyes to dance alike.
A version of “Bollywood Breakdown” was shown at “Festival du Nouveau Cinema – Montreal, 2004” where a reviewer wrote: “The vibrant extracts were accompanied by a simple yet high-tech installation, reminiscent of a time when the cinema was simply shadows and light. Green, red, purple… Small hills of pigment, carefully aligned, illuminate the image and, when beautiful indian dancers give a joyous kick to the little hills, great clouds of colour form around them. The already fevered dance becomes pure pyrotechnics: welcome to Bollywood!”

Paper Party!
Friday, February 18th, 6pm – 9pm
A traveling exhibition that invites artists and audiences to explore the realm between two- and three-dimensional art in a new and inventive way. Twenty-nine artists have been asked to design a paper sculpture to be cut out and assembled using very basic materials. Visitors will be encouraged to “complete the artworks” by cutting out and assembling the sculptures of their choice.
Organized by the SculptureCenter, in collaboration with Cabinet magazine and Independent Curators International:
