Harvest, a group exhibition featuring new work by Austin-based artists Ryan Lauderdale, Dylan Reece, Corkey Sinks, and Anthony Romero, opened last night at MASS Gallery. The show highlighted the group’s overlapping interests in the aesthetics of the supernatural, found objects, and re-appropriated/re-contextualized visions of pop culture and nostalgia.

Tonight at Co-Lab (613 Allen. St., Austin, TX):
True Three-Dimensional Projection : Stephen Bornstein
Showcase: Sunday, August 31, 8-11 PM
Stephen Bornstein, conceptual Artist and professional Industrial Designer, has created real 3-D images that actually occupy volumetric space and time. This is a “virtual” recreation of realty. This is not real. It is projected light, fleeting, temporal and illusionary.
This installation invites interactivity by encouraging the viewer to bring their own iPod. Before their eyes, they can watch their favorite music morph in 3-D.
Visceral Automation : Sean Ripple
Performance: Sunday, August 17, 8:30 PM Sharp

Significantly aided by computational technology, contemporary society has become increasingly adept at replicating/duplicating products, environments, and exact outcomes of prior experience.
Is this drive to duplicate/replicate products, environments, and outcomes of prior experience (a major motivating force behind industrial manufacturing, chain restaurants/chain stores and science among other examples not considered) at odds with the unique individual and a less predictable reality, or are such ideas as the unique individual and a less predictable reality simply myths perpetuated by less organized and undisciplined members of humanity and that in truth, the drive to successfully duplicate/replicate products, environments, and exact outcomes of prior experience is, like biological reproduction itself, integral to humanity’s continuance?
