DORKBOT CHICAGO
Dorkbot Chicago will soon be riding high at a new location! As soon as the details get worked out I'll be posting the new info!
See some of the past Dorkbot Chicago events held at DEADTECH!
Saturday, November 17, Deadtech exhibited a show of work by
Jeremy Boyle. The gallery installation featured his recent
circular-screen rotating-image video projects as well as a pair of
self-playing instruments.
Using meticulous craftsmanship to execute his
elegantly conceptual ideas, Boyle’s work concerns automation, sound and
mechanical thresholds. During the opening, Boyle and guitarist Todd
Mattei accompaned the self-playing instruments for an improvised
musical performance.
Huong Ngo - Kosmolet (Radio Receiver No. 1)
This Saturday, October 6, we are opening a new installation by Huong Ngo titled "Kosmolet (Radio Receiver No. 1)" at Deadtech.
High Impact featured three projects focused on the moment of
impact. Complimentary pairs establish the potential for collision in
all three pieces: hammer and keyboard, beer can and wall, camera and
lunar surface. The objects are hurled toward their targets, locked for
a brief moment in an irresistible attraction, anticipating the
rapidly-approaching instant of realization. The impact itself is a
moment of extreme violence, a fulfillment of possible disasters, and a
split-second of pleasure. The three installations in High Impact invite
you to enjoy the moment of collision.
Haruspex - a solo show by Matt Steinke
May 11 - June 12 2007

On Friday, May 11, Deadtech presented new work by Matt Steinke in an installation entitled Haruspex. tarting with the historical role of the haruspex as an interpreter of the mysterious will of the gods through study of sheep livers and entrails, Steinke looks at attempts to divine meaning from the unknowable natural world through analysis and acquisition. His attention is on the ambiguous realm of the neglected, intangible and forgotten, artifacts from ancient and contemporary worlds. |
Don Lambert and Mathew Jinks
Friday October 20 2006 - November2006

Drawing inspiration from found airspace maps, Lambert and Jinks explore
the topic of flight. Their investigation of civilian and military modes
of flight spans contemporary media, combining large-scale sculpture,
textiles and drawings with integrated audio elements and on-site
blueprinting. The two artists bring their own histories of working with
information, maps, and hand-made electronic components to the project
as they examine the phenomenon and aesthetics of flight and its
relationship to the human body.
