NEW YORK.-The New Museum of Contemporary Art presents Fresh Projects: Shimmer, on view through December 31, 2005. Fresh Projects act as a showcase for emerging artists and designers working in all aspects of digital media. Shimmer presents two installations, created using generative software, that reconfigure the gallery into a laboratory for innovative design in the use of scale and material. For Bifid, architect Alisa Andrasek develops a ceiling to floor installation made of densely woven translucent ribbons, creating the effect of a vibrant, artificial stalactite field within the museum space. Waken, an installation of tendon-like materials and speakers created by artists Beth Coleman and Howard Goldkrand, builds across a network of signals to produce a cacophony of sound. Based on similar software, these two new installations explore potentially limitless permutations of material design and sonic organization.
