Leanne Eisen: Scan
November 1st –16th, 2011
Opening Reception: Friday November 4th, 6-10pm
Pikto Gallery, 55 Mill Street, 59-103 Toronto.
Scan, at Pikto Gallery marks Leanne Eisen’s first solo exhibition and foray into new media installation, with her new piece while (true).
while (true), consisting of a scanner, a computer monitor and an flat screen television, will create a real-time animation that will be left running the duration of the two week long exhibition from November 1st -16th. With each progressive scan, the computer monitor will be updated, then re-scanned, creating a feedback loop. The television will play an animated loop created from the scanned frames. The animation will be updated in real-time as the loop repeats.
The exhibition will also include Eisen’s series Scan, a series “exploring the aesthetic effects of movement and reflection in a digital technology that renders the material into data. The resulting works resemble ethereal landscapes, floating apparitions or maybe distant galaxies, however the pieces are more than merely finding shapes in the clouds, there is the presence of sheer volumes of space and distance, and the photographic feeling of capturing the image of something living and breathing. The images stimulate more questions than answers, with the viewer unable to come to any concrete conclusions about the works, leaving them in a sublime limbo.” (Zachary Eastwood-Bloom)
