The fantabulous Marianne Petit and Matthew Belanger (Greylock Arts<\/a>), along with the – also great – turbulence.org<\/a>, launch a new project worth checking out….<\/p>\n

An interactive light installation (re)connecting personal artifacts, histories, & communities.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Greylock Arts, MCLA<\/span> Gallery51, and Turbulence are pleased to announce Lumens, an interactive light installation by artists Ven Voisey<\/a>, Sean Riley<\/a>, and Matthew Belanger<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A project of Networked Realities: (Re)Connecting the Adamses<\/a>, Lumens is an installation of lamps networked across three spaces: Greylock Arts, MCLA<\/span> Gallery 51, and Turbulence.org. Scores of personal lamps that usually inhabit and illuminate the interiors of homes and shops have been borrowed from the residents of Adams and North Adams, Massachusetts, filling two gallery spaces: Greylock Arts in Adams and MCLA<\/span> Gallery 51 Annex in North Adams. In addition, their images and stories are represented on turbulence.org, which also serves to connect the two locations telematically.<\/p>\n

Clusters of lamps have been outfitted with proximity sensors and arduino microcontrollers. Lamps illuminate in response to a visitor\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s presence and simultaneously illuminate lamps in the counterpart spaces. Thus, an individual in Adams can communicate his\/her presence to an individual in North Adams, and vice versa. Additionally, as visitors investigate the history of a particular lamp online it will also illuminate in the physical gallery space.<\/p>\n

Lumens (re)connects North Adams and Adams \u00e2\u20ac\u201d originally a single community \u00e2\u20ac\u201d through an exploration of location, influence, history, and the present.<\/p>\n

Networked Realities: (Re)Connecting the Adamses<\/a> is a collaboration of Greylock Arts, MCLA<\/span> Gallery51, and Turbulence. Lumens has been made possible through the generous support of New Radio and Performing Arts, Inc.<\/a> with funding from the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, the LEF<\/span> Foundation, and the Massachusetts Cultural Council.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
