The Bitforms gallery in NYC has just opened ULTRACONCENTRATED, an exhibition by Los Angeles based artist Casey Reas. It is his first New York solo exhibition in over five years, making a departure from past works based on emergent systems. Reas’ latest work inhabits the increasingly voluminous, yet invisible, spaces of information systems and mass communication. Using a variety of materials, his new projects explore the behavior of television signals and entropy. Live video-driven software systems are featured in ULTRACONCENTRATED, as well as c prints, laser- etched anodized aluminum pieces, and an illuminated sculpture created with Aranda\Lasch. The series Signal to Noise intentionally disrupts the information of local broadcast signals. It investigates the field of technical images, as theorized by philosopher Villem Flusser, such as visual information transmitted as data, which relies on text-based instructions to write a picture.
