Fluid – an art and tech exhibition features major new works created by New York State Council on the Arts – New Technology awardees Kristin Lucas and Eva Davidova with Harvestworks Artists in Residence Viv Corringham, Su Hyun Nam and Allison Berkoy.
Through tech focused artworks Fluid brings together artists working in a variety of media from 3D sound, web-VR and audience participatory image installations. Bringing attention to the complex relationships between human, animal, machines and their environments, each work explores local and global issues through the lens of an artist. Curator and director Carol Parkinson and the Harvestworks arts committee selected these artists because of their compelling use of immersive technology, multichannel video and audio.
The Harvestworks Art and Technology Program on Governors Island
Building 10a, Nolan Park, Governors Island
August 27 – October 30, 2022 – Open to the public on weekends 11 am – 5 pm
Info and links about the artworks.
Kristin Lucas: Marine MamMLs is an interactive WebXR project that visually sonifies whale communication and cargo ship noise in the NY Bight. The work demonstrates how close in range their sound frequency is, and how ship noise interference with whale communication can increase the risk of whale injury and casualty.

Viv Corringham: Nostalgia for the Here and Now is an archaeology of sounds and found objects from the here and now – a collection of relics from our present and a record of how we lived and what we cared about. The artist asked two questions of everyday people: “what object do you most value?” and “what environmental sound would you miss if it disappeared tomorrow?” These sounds were recorded, mixed, and distributed in a 3D sound environment.

Eva Davidova: Garden for Drowning Descendant is an interactive mixed reality work that uses the subconscious to workshop ideas. The work exists simultaneously as a 360 VR environment and an immersive project installation that consists of four interactive absurdist scenes of ecological peril.. The rules of engagement are left intentionally unsaid; participants need to experiment in order to understand the possibilities for interaction.

Allison Berkoy: START is a collection of new works exploring sensory and perceptual processing following acute stress to the brain. Mixing electronic traditional media, the exhibition features interactive video sculptures and electronic sculptural reliefs. Participants enter the space and find themselves surrounded by spot-lit sculptural reliefs and videos, low hums of noise oscillating with silence.

Su Huyn Nam: Synthetic Cognisphere is an immersive audiovisual environment. Embodying a speculated cognitive system, in which fragments of human memories are entangled with cognitive activities of nonhumans, the artist feeds daily images into neural networks to repurpose them and envision how a machine would process its own memories of her experience.
