Streaming Museum is pleased to announce the opening of "The Poetics of Code" an exhibition of artwork by two pioneer contemporary artists--"HD Traffic"/John F. Simon, Jr. and "Lagoglyphs" by Eduardo Kac. The exhibition can be viewed March 15 - May 15 at Streaming Museum and throughout a global network of public spaces.
Code lies at the core of both works as method and meaning. In "HD Traffic", Simon built with software code an architectural Mondrian-inspired work designed to integrate real-time traffic data flow.
Kac'series of lagoglyphs artworks, reference and expand upon his controversial genetically altered Alba the GFP Bunny 2000. The real-time animations, continuously flowing and reconfiguring themselves, place emphasis on the generative mutability of writing and the encoded nature of life.
