About the Item

This interactive installation explores the poetics of randomness and the liminal space between intentionality and observation, seeing and hearing, touching and listening. A vertically mounted touch sensitive display (58.76” W x 34.15” H x 3.93” D) shows algorithmically generated rain drops randomly hitting and splashing on the display surface, with drips colliding and forming larger droplets that then pull apart and follow paths dictated by gravity and surface tension. The viewer can watch and listen to the soft barely audible tapping sound of the droplets or the viewer can actively reach out and touch. This intervention changes how the droplets form and encourages a playful interaction that transforms the actualization of this work. Greg Garvey is the founder and Director of Game Design & Development at Quinnipiac University and previously chaired the Department of Visual and Performing Arts. He has exhibited at ODETTA, Brooklyn; Harvest Works and the Alternative Space Gallery on West Broadway, New York; the Landesmuseum in Linz, Austria; the Victoria and Albert Museum in London; and Tech Fest in Mumbai, India. He has held previous appointments as Visiting Fellow in the Arts at Quinnipiac and had a simultaneous appointment as Associate Artist of the Digital Media Center for the Arts at Yale University. Earlier he was Chair of the Department of Design Art at Concordia University in Montréal and served on the Board of Directors of the Montreal Design Institute. From 1983–85 he was a Fellow at the Center for Advanced Visual Studies at MIT where he also received a Masters of Science in Visual Studies in addition to a MFA from UW-Madison.

By Fritz Horstman

While working on a large building project several years ago the artist, Fritz Horstman was struck by the poetry in the unfinished state of the construction site. He was drawn specifically to the space between the plywood walls that were raised as formworks for the pouring of cement. That space could only exist for a few hours before the cement truck arrived, but in that moment it was a revolving abstraction of potential, delineation, growth, and destruction. Once filled it was gone: the plywood was stripped away, the earth was backfilled. To suspend that moment he began building models of formworks. Leaving them unfilled, they are perpetually unfinished. From models based directly on architecture, Horstman expanded to forms found in the landscape. Making a formwork that depicts constraint upon the landscape is not exactly a reversal of the formwork’s function, but it asks different questions than a formwork designed for a building would. Why would you make a cement creek? What is the relationship between a flowing creek and poured cement? Is this a barrier or just delineation? For River Woman ODETTA, in addition to several small sculptures in the Flat File, Horstman will install Formwork for the East River, which describes that river’s shape as it flows from Rikers Island to the tip of Manhattan. The 3 x 18 x 7 foot sculpture...
