Compendium 2004-2010 Exhibition

Exhibition of the new Process Compendium 2004-2010 prints and software at Gallery [DAM]Berlin, 11 September - 3 November 2010. The exhibition and the complete Process series of works is documented with a 128-page catalog.

During the last seven years, C.E.B. Reas has continuously refined his system of Forms, Behaviors, Elements, and Processes. The phenomenon of emergence is the core of the exploration and each artwork builds on previous works and informs the next. The system is idiosyncratic and pseudoscientific, containing references ranging from the history of mathematics to the generation of artificial life.

The Process Compendium 2004-2010 consists of two editions of fifteen prints that document Process 4 to Process 18. A catalog documents these prints, alternate software interpretations, and the emergence of the forms through a series of time-lapse images.
New World Symphony Commission

C.E.B. Reas and Tal Rosner are collaborating on a site-specific video mural for the new Frank Gehry-designed home of the New World Symphony in Miami, scheduled to open on 25 January 25 2011.

Created for the building's 7,000-square-foot exterior projection wall, this large-scale installation takes its inspiration directly from the new building and the surrounding historical art deco neighborhood of Miami Beach. Based on thousands of photographs taken over the course of the construction of the new building and images of local architecture, the ever- changing mural will shift between the recognizable and the abstract, animating and creating new forms on the building's surface.

Using the same visual source material, the mural will be punctuated by hourly videographic events marking the top of each hour, achieved by altering aspects of the work's choreography - detail, pacing, palette, rhythm, geometry, and pattern. Custom-written software will not only create hourly cycles, but generate an ever-changing visual experience over time for new and repeat visitors, regardless of the time, the day, or the season.
