DataSpaceTime's Digital Exploration of Vision and Temporality at Microscope Gallery

From January 15 to February 21, 2016, Lisa Gwilliam and Ray Sweeten, known as DataSpaceTime, showcased 'Echelons' at Microscope Gallery in Brooklyn. This exhibition included digital artworks, video installations, and prints that delved into themes of data, space, and time. Highlighted were two two-channel installations, Oculus 1 (Annunciation) and Oculus 2 (Assumption), both created in 2016, which drew inspiration from altarpiece traditions while incorporating digital distortions. Custom software was employed to fragment video of the World Trade Center PATH Station's Oculus. Additionally, the installation Night Watch, Night Vision (2016) featured Gwilliam wearing night vision goggles. Vespers (2016) was displayed across six monitors with dynamic feeds. The exhibition challenged the boundaries of human and digital perception, echoing Baltasar Gracián's idea of needing 'eyes on the very eyes.' All pieces were exhibited at 1329 Willoughby Avenue, #2B, Brooklyn.
