Aaron Koblin Redux May 30, 2008

By popular demand, San Francisco-based media designer and artist Aaron Koblin (http://www.aaronkoblin.com) returns to Gray Area Beacon (GAB) for a second showing of his solo exhibition, first displayed at GAB’s inaugural launch party in late-April.

Koblin will lead a walk-through discussion of his featured work following an introductory talk by GAB cofounder Peter Hirshberg about the history of computer art. The reception and after-party will feature live DJ sets by San Francisco minimal techno producer Alland Byallo (KONTROL) and renowned Paris deep disco producer Cosmo Vitelli (I‘m a Cliché).

Koblin’s Redux show features four digital pieces that explore how communication, online collaboration, and digital labor marketplaces map on the shifting terrain—both physical and virtual—of a globalized world.

6 PM: Wine and Refreshments

8 PM: Reception with music
10 PM: After-party with music by Cosmo Vitelli (Paris)
