Steve Daniels-homologies

Steve Daniels: homologies

Exhibition runs October 16 - November 15, 2008

“The works in homologies are part of my exploration into machine-human interactions. Through kinetic objects referred to as living particles I am abandoning the dominant relationship of human-computer interface as portal-to-utility in an effort to expand the possibilities of interaction. These works seek an engagement between human and device that is experienced as mutual exploration not simply unidirectional control”. S. Daniels

These projects are supported by a Ryerson New Faculty Development grant, a Creative Fund grant as well as an FCAD project grant to Steve Daniels.
