Bio Art Installation

Soiled is a multi­media installation composed of computer generated cut­outs in the shapes of the five boroughs of New York City. The works are fabricated from compressed board, Lucite sheets and LED lights. Denoting the respective results of soil samples collected throughout the New York metropolitan area, the installation, as a visual representation, is consistent with the scientific processes of creating chemical color reactions. The installation functions as both a data representation of our sampling sites as well as an investigation of aesthetic principles. Color which crosses the boundaries between art and science as a perceptual marker is of extreme importance in both practices, pointing at once to the ways knowledge is produced. In February 2016 a formal art exhibition will be held at the School of Visual Arts Gallery in Chelsea (NYC) to highlight the aesthetic and conceptual aspects of the work as a whole. Various parts of the jamboree installation along with reagents, consumables, prototypes, and graphics will be displayed with descriptions about the piece and statements from the student artists who took part in the competition.
