Reviewing

Abiogenesis

Jill Taffet

Harvestworks is pleased to premiere Abiogenesis, an interactive video projection by Jill Taffet that uses camera tracking to trigger the movement of animation and sound. Inspired by the theory of Abiogenesis, the process of life arising from non-living matter. Abstract animated avatars follow participants as they explore and bring biomorphic shapes to life. Each viewing of the work is unique dependent on the number of people interacting simultaneously.

Opening Friday, March 4th 2016 @ 7:00 pm

Encore performance Saturday, March 5th @ 4:00 – 7:00 pm

Location: Harvestworks, #602, 596 Broadway, New York, NY 10012

Jill Taffet

Jill Taffet is a moving image artist who creates media installations,
video projection and public art projects. She holds a BFA from Cooper Union and a
MFA from San Francisco Art Institute. During her residency at Harvestworks she will
create a site-specific immersive multi-channel video projection that uses camera and
eye tracking to trigger the movement of animation elements and sounds. Biosensors
will collect biometric data from the spectator and individualize the experience with
generative art elements based on blood pressure and pulse rate.
