Website overhaul
Welcome to the latest iteration of DigitalColeman. Seeing as how I teach about online presence, I have to keep the site looking up to date. This of course causes no end of trouble, but alas, this is the age we find ourselves in.
17 Days
I have been invited to include "Collusion" into the "17 Days" show being coordinated by Adrianne Little at Western Michigan University. "17 days is a curated video series for the plasma screens at the Richmond Center Art Galleries. The concept of 17 Days is that there will be 17 days selected throughout both the spring and fall semesters, beginning with the spring 2008 semester. On each of the 17 days, 1 artist will be featured and their video will play all day on the day that they are assigned. One artist’s video work per selected day will play continuously and simultaneously on both of the 52” plasma screens, one on the first floor and one on the second floor, located at the front entrance of the Richmond Center for Visual Art."

Michael Salter has an amazing show up at Jeff Bailey Gallery in NYC. We have been working together to bring a few of his stunning yet subtle images to life through animation. The first can be seen at the show, stay tuned for the rest, all available in stunning HD.
Particulate at the Vox Populi
Following it's debut in Eugene at LumpWest Gallery, Particulate has traveled to Philidelphia to be shown at Vox Populi Gallery. Particulate is a show of ten diverse and internationally known artists who have packaged their visual inspections for playback on micro players, curated by myself(Chris Coleman). These mp4 players, often illegally labeled as ipods range from 1" to 2.5" diagonal, offer very affordable and intimate venues for these introspective works. These thirteen particulate samples were gathered from across the US and Canada to settle briefly in Philadelphia. Packets blown about in the passing traffic of the tubes abandoned by DARPA. The dust of dangerous bodies and cultures are collected, appropriated, examined, codecs have been applied, solid state storage units feed Chinese liquid crystal micro displays, photons are filtered and scattered. To ensure public safety, all specimens are simulated in small form, isolated, and displayed behind glass. Artists included in the show are Laleh Mehran, dNASAb, GARhodes & Chris Ernst of The Buffalo Super Friends, Adriane Little, Tom Bendtsen, Adam Weekley, Alexander Reyna, Colin Ives, Christopher Borkowski, and James Humphrey.
