However slightly edge worn and rubbed. "It is a great honour for our gallery to present Reva Stone - Displacement, a major exhibition of three of her recent multimedia installations. It is particularly exciting to premiere her newest work Imaginal Expression. This multifaceted installation uses groundbreaking computer animation, video projection, and audience interaction through on-site surveillance cameras and the Internet to explore issues surrounding the displacement of the human body resulting from scientific and medical exploration and advancements. In each of these installations, the artist returns to the physical presence of the body, in one way or the other. In Imaginal Expression the molecules being projected and manipulated are actually blown-up scans of her body, her teeth, her hair, her fingers. Carnevale, the robot life-size cut-out of Stone?s childhood body, explores issues around lived experience and memory in a world of artificial intelligence. In sentientBody the viewer (captured in video projection) becomes the subject within a complex installation questioning the body's identity in light of medical intervention." - Patricia Bovey in the preface.

Soft cover. Condición: Near Fine. Clean, tight, unmarked; very minimal wear; Catalogue of an exhibition held at the Winnipeg Art Gallery 2004. This exhibition of three works by Reva Stone recognized the artist's critical contributions to the field of electronic, digital, and media art. She has investigated new media not merely to see how these instruments and tools might work, but to raise a series of questions about the saturation of our bodies and lives by media and information, the objectification of the body within science and medicine, the meaning of new directions in cybernetics and AI that speaks of downloading consciousness to machines, and the potential for genetic research to re-map and re-make the body.
