BIO

'Daniel Rozin is an artist, educator and developer, working in the area of interactive digital art. As an interactive artist Rozin creates installations and sculptures that have the unique ability to change and respond to the presence and point of view of the viewer. In many cases the viewer becomes the contents of the piece and in others the viewer is invited to take an active role in the creation of the piece. Even though computers are often used in Rozin's work, they are seldom visible.

As an educator, Rozin is Associate Art Professor at ITP, Tisch School Of The Arts, NYU where he teaches such classes as: "The World- Pixel by Pixel", "Project Development Studio" and "Toy Design Workshop". As developer, Rozin owns Smoothware Design, a software company that creates tools for the interactive art and multimedia authoring community.

Born in Jerusalem and trained as an industrial designer Rozin lives and works in New York. His work has been exhibited widely with solo exhibitions in the US and internationally and featured in publications such as The New York Times, Wired, ID, Spectrum and Leonardo. His work has earned him numerous awards including Prix Ars Electronica, ID Design Review and the Chrysler Design Award.'

'Notes on Invisible Architectures and Turbulent Topologies

The large "invisible sculpture/invisible architecture" is an embodiment of "reading" invisible shapes through the interaction with several signs: fields of intensities, sounds, colors, forms, behaviors, and so on. As with reading a book, the signs (letters, words, sentences, paragraphs) are not the content: the content is formed in the mind of the "reader" after sufficient effort in reading and imaging what the author wrote. That is not to say that the invisible form is subjective or indefinite: this installation demonstrates that it is quite objectively present; and yet, without the viewer's attention, effort, and imagination, it can easily be missed.

Architecturally, the exhibition explores the idea that we live in a new sort of space, encompassing the actual and the virtual, and using the invisible as a bridge and interface between the two. Artistically, it proposes that the historic divisions between modalities of expression are long obsolete, and have been superseded by the development of a "transmodal continuum" in which all previous, present, and emerging modalities are fused into one continuous expressive medium, spanning across sound, image, form, and space, literature, theater, and dance, and ranging from computation, science, and technology to literal (though previously impossible) sculpture.

The theme "turbulent topologies" refers to the strange geometries of the invisible connections in our lives and our cities. Connections quickly multiply into interconnections, short cuts, hidden passages, and short circuits. Not only are these connections of high genus, they soon form Gordian knots, but it is often more meaningful and rewarding to trace them than to cut them. The connections are not merely (topo)logical pointers, they are warped and twisted by the turbulence of our emotive engagement with the world. Quantities are modulated into qualities.

Thus the visible pieces in the show are indications of how to approach the invisible sculpture/architecture, looking for hidden linkages, telling coincidences, and the sparks of insight that come with spontaneous and unexpected associations.'
