May 3 – June 13, 2014 bitforms gallery nyc Reception: Sat, May 3, 6:00 – 8:30 PM Gallery Hours through May 31: Tue – Sat, 11:00 AM – 6:00 PM Summer Hours June 1-13: Mon – Fri, 11:00 AM – 6:00 PM bitforms gallery is pleased to announce Welcome to Alice’s Gift Shop!, a third solo exhibition with Claudia Hart. Featuring the New York debut of Hart’s augmented reality tableware and quilts, the exhibition includes three new participatory projects that engage virtual worlds, literary nonsense and domestic craftsmanship. The works are inspired by Lewis Carroll’s 1865 Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and explore populist culture that is so addicted to the devices of high technology, that it can only bear a world that is filtered through them. Using a variety of platforms, Hart’s new work presents two realities: the physical and the hidden; or the dormant and the expressive. Steeped in the clichés of data-driven, punk and Romantic aesthetics, the work builds a space that is interactive and irrational. Each composition is navigable using hand-held devices, which deliver animated and text-based content. Programmed by the artist, these multimedia objects craft metaphors that unfold using computer-vision, revealing “magical” layers of new information. Three-dimensional form is complicated by the spectacle of high technology, as Hart pairs technical precision with raw, emotional subjectivity. Over the past fifteen years, Hart’s practice has increasingly focused on notions of the digital body. She uses virtual imaging and 3D animation to counter what is typically an overly-determined Cartesian world of design. “I started working in a kind of hyper-feminine way,” says Hart. “I was dealing with ideas of beauty in the context of first-person shooter games that were fast and violent and pornographic. In resistance, I started making slow sensual work, focusing on the female body.” At the core of this work are issues of representation, as Hart questions what might be considered “natural”, and the role of the computer in shifting values about identity and “the real”. Recently in a series of artisanal plateware, Hart has brought the conversation of technology to the dinner table, a site long equated with Feminist strategy. Here, the experience of a feast is disrupted by a virtual world, which can only be sustained computationally. Produced in hand-thrown porcelain, Nue Morte draws on the visual style and psychological subject matter of early Surrealist photography and film. It presents a naked sleeping odalisque that is viewable using custom augmented-reality software. As the plate’s inscribed decorative pattern is recognized with a tablet, a sleeping figure tosses and turns, apparently lying across one's meal. Evoking early technologies of the peephole camera and the Zoetrope, Nue Morte renders a dreamlike subconscious space. The illusory female figure, as well as any food placed on the plate (when functional), is overrun by artificially intelligent insects, which crawl in endlessly mutating patterns. Double Narcissus, a related video and companion piece, frames the viewer’s gaze upon a male body that lies in bed with the plate, suggesting reproduction or cloning. Hart’s series of decorative multimedia quilts similarly subvert the classic stereotype of so-called “domestic handicraft”. Also a play on the homespun narrative, the quilts deliver stories that are read with embedded pattern tags, which are programmed to be viewable with a custom tablet reader. Excerpts of Carroll’s text flash on-screen, and augment the geometric abstraction presented in a fabric picture plane. This is a system vulnerable to glitches and decay, as Carroll’s original narrative is degenerated into graphics that evoke pop-up banner ads, spam and trashy web design. Strobing concrete poetry emerges, a result of haptic communication between the human and the machine. The quilts are collages of polyester print remnants from Hart’s “website dresses”, which appear in a music video by Artur Ratton, projected on a gallery wall. Using documentary footage from Hart’s recent stage production, The Alices (Walking), it is driven by a score by Edmund Campion who appears at the piano. A collaborative creation of Hart and Campion, The Alices (Walking) crafts an Alice for our time with characters clothed in a cyborgian identity, one welded to the realm of smartphone devices.

  • In Conversation with Claudia Hart
    Interview for the INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL FOR DIGITAL ART HISTORY (d ahj.org) , Scheduled for July 2020 Publication of issue #5 on the history of digital art. Interview with Claudia Hart by Tina Sauerlaender, independent curator and guest editor of the issue #5 of the DAHJ. > keep confidential and do not distribute < In Conversation with Claudia Hart: “ Technocratic patriarchy vs. me – a romantic anarchistic warrior princess” Tina Sauerlaender (TS): Your whole career path has been a rather kaleidoscopic process of working with and i n d ifferent media: after studying architecture, you became an editor and writer, and then focused on painting/illustration and installation, eventually moving on to study animation – leading you to to 3D animation art, while continuing critical writing. Viewing this hurricane of activity in retrospect: Does your praxis have a silent center – a philosophical question, which you continue to explore from every angle? –or is the only ‘thing’ standing in the eye of the hurricane yourself, the artist? Claudia Hart (CH): I think I have to qualify my answer by providing a bit of personal narrative. What might appear from a distance to be a theoretical position on my part is actually a process of psychoanalytic self analysis. In other words, to use your terms, I position myself as both the eye of the hurricane. In fact, I was born IN one, Hurricane Connie, so much so that my mother barely made it in a NY taxi to the hospital. I was therefore named after it: I am Claudia Constance. So I am the “I” of the hurricane, but also its deconstruction.

  • DIGITAL ART and FEMINISM: a SURREAL RELATIONSHIP Anne Swartz Provided Byhumanitiescommons Brought Toyouby
    10 Anne Swartz View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Humanities Commons DIGITAL ART AND FEMINISM: A SURREAL RELATIONSHIP SURREAL A AND FEMINISM: ART DIGITAL DIGITAL ART AND FEMINISM: A SURREAL RELATIONSHIP Anne Swartz Many of the images in this exhibition reveal similar interests, themes, and aesthetics to those seen in feminist Art.1 The artists— (PLOLD)RUVWUHXWHU-HQQLIHU+DOO&ODXGLD+DUW<DHO.DQDUHN-HDQHWWH/RXLH5DQX0XNKHUMHH0DU\%DWHV1HXEDXHU0DULH Sivak, Camille Utterback, Adrianne Wortzel, and Janet Zweig—rely on technology as a tool to explore geopolitics, geological phenomenon, obsolete media, data streams and sets, illusion, shifting identities, phantasmagorias, eroticism, bodies, landscapes, geography, and memory. They are not afraid to confront assumptions or propaganda, even challenging conventions and traditions. They show us diverse, alternate domains and generate narratives of augmented worlds. Common to their artworks is the surreal, employed innovatively and underscored by the radical politics of feminism to change society in order to advance it. It is a kind of new romanticism where the real is meshed with fantasy so that the boundaries between the two dissolve. These artists have created pieces that require the viewer’s time; scanning and experiencing the entirety of their respective works over time transports one to their wild and imagined realms. It is easy to lose one’s bearings with these works because they rely upon mysterious disorientation to the viewer’s prosaic and commonplace experiences. It is a situation that is wholly based on the personal, which has been one of the cornerstone themes of feminist art.

Courtesy the artist and bitforms gallery, New York Downloaded from http://read.dukeupress.edu/cultural-politics/article-pdf/9/1/86/247059/86.pdf by guest on 01 October 2021 BEGINNING and END GAMES A Parable in 3D Claudia Hart or many years, I was primarily a painter, and I exhibited F paintings, objects, and photographs in the contemporary art context, first in New York beginning in 1988 and later in Berlin. Then in the late 1990s, I began working with three-dimensional, or 3D, computer imaging for the first time. In the mid-1990s, 3D animation software, or Maya, as it is called, was not available for the personal computer. It was supported exclusively on the UNIX operating system, typically available only in large corporations or academic institutions. So in 1997 I began taking classes at New York University’s Center for Advanced Digital Applications in order to gain access both to Maya and to the center’s sophisticated computer labs. Learning 3D animation was quite challenging, and although I was an early adopter of computers, nothing I had previously done prepared me for the mathematical and technical rigor of spatial 3D imaging or the culture that surrounded it. When it came to courses in Maya or virtual reality simulations, there were hardly any women enrolled in classes. I was also one of only a small coterie of contemporary artists working with this software, since, until recently, 3D animation and imaging existed completely outside the purview of contemporary art discourse.

  • CLAUDIA HART B
    CLAUDIA HART b. 1955, New York, NY Lives and works in New York, NY Claudia Hart emerged as part of a generation of ‘90s intermedia artists examining issues of identity and representation. Since the late ‘90s when she began working with 3D animation, Hart embraced these same concepts, but now focusing on the impact of computing and simulation technologies. She was an early adopter of virtual imaging, using 3D animation to make media installations and projections, and later as they were invented, other forms of VR, AR and objects produced by computer-driven production machines. At the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where she is a professor, she developed a pedagogic program based on her practice - Experimental 3D - the first dedicated solely to teaching simulations technologies in an art-school context. Hart’s works are widely exhibited and collected by galleries and museums including the collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Museum of Modern Art, and the Metropolitan Museum. Her work has been shown at the New Museum, produced at the Eyebeam Center for Art + Technology, where she was an honorary fellow in 2013-14, at Pioneer Works, NY, where she a technology resident in 2018, and at the Center for New Music and Audio Technology, UC California, Berkeley where she is currently a Fellow.

    For Immediate Release bitforms gallery nyc Contact: Natalia Pudzisz 529 West 20th St [email protected] New York NY 10011 www.bitforms.com (212) 366-6939 Claudia Hart When A Rose is Not a Rose Oct 25 – Dec 3, 2011 bitforms gallery nyc Reception: Saturday, Oct 29, 6:00 – 8:30 PM Gallery Hours: Tue – Sat, 11:00 AM – 6:00 PM bitforms gallery is pleased to announce a second solo exhibition with the Chicago-based artist Claudia Hart. When A Rose is Not a Rose, Hart’s reflection on the ubiquitous Gertrude Stein poem from 1913, presents the artist’s recent explorations on her own denial of death. The exhibition’s muted wall text, “When this you see remember me”, also quotes the title of W.G. Roger’s biography on Stein, functioning as a cold reminder of mortality, a memento mori. Primarily using photography and animated video, Hart crafts compelling metaphors for Freud’s das unheimlich (the uncanny) in virtual statues and models that are filled with human emotion, such as loss, pain and the fear of death. Psychically charged, these pieces present the viewer with objects that are simultaneously dead and alive - uncanny in the sense that they are realistic, but impossibly so. In addition to working with the human figure, Hart’s recent musings on the death of food also feature in this debut of The Real and The Fake, a new series of photographs. “The impulse to use technology as a means to control nature is inherently Modernist,” says Hart. “There is a built in uncanniness in the tools, which create meta-planes that fix a user’s body into a virtual space that is beyond time and death.” Using 3-D digital media as a means to consider our culture’s detachment from human vulnerability, Hart plays with the grotesque edge of the uncanny valley.
