About this activity
Visit: Artechouse, 1238 Maryland Ave SW Smithsonian Metro Station, Washington DC, DC 20024-2140
Infinite Space, the first major retrospective of the work of award-winning, Los-Angeles-based, Turkish-born artist Refik Anadol, invites visitors to open their senses to the endless transformation and infinite possibilities at the intersection of man and machine.
One of the greatest eighteenth-century English artists William Blake famously said, “if the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is - infinite.” Infinite Space is a collection of works that revisits Blake’s statement, and seeks to cleanse the doors of perception with the tools available to twenty-first-century artists. The exhibition explores memories and dreams through the mind of a machine by using data sets ranging from human memories, photographs of Mars, cultural archives and sea surface activity as data sculptures and digital paintings.
This exhibition features Anadol's worldwide traveling immersive installation titled “Infinity Room” seen by more than a million people around the world, including a half million during a tour in China alone last year, three infinity boxes and a selection of multimedia works spanning his celebrated career.
