MAAP Republic: Paul Brown's Studies in Perception at South Bank [19.01.2010]
This year MAAP declares its program of public and site-specific art, MAAP Republic.
To make it official, we have installed Paul Brown's Kinetic Painting 4^15: Studies in Perception on a 9m x 1.5m purpose-built projection space at South Bank (ABI Group Building, Stanley Street Plaza in the Parklands).
In this installation, Brown uses an artist-created software program, based on Cellular Automata (Artificial Life), to generate randomised and evolving geometric forms. The works reference European kinetic, conceptual and systems art, as well as an aesthetic he finds in tiling and patterns of symmetry.
The work can viewed between 5pm-2am daily over the summer period.
MAAP is seeking artist's proposals for further MAAP Republic projects.
