Gray Area Gallery, after making its mark on the San Francisco art scene last year, is taking a new leap forward. GAB, or Gray Area Beacon, is the gallery’s newest project, a new media program focusing on artists who are working in and around themes of technology and interaction.

San Francisco, CA--On Tuesday, April 22nd 2008, GAB currently housed at 1515 Folsom St., will open with a bang by showcasing artist Aaron Koblin, in his first ever San Francisco show. The piece “The Sheep Market” was recently featured in Wired Magazine’s March issue and has received international acclaim. Koblin is a media designer and artist focused on the creation and visualization of human systems. This piece, using new technology, transforms large abstract data sets into humanly contextualized information in the form of a large, collaborative completed, mass scale digital drawing. His piece entitled flight patterns is on exhibit at New York MOMA through May 12.
