The HOLODECK, PØST, Thursday, July 26th, 7-9PM
organized by Brad Eberhard
The
Holodeck is a simulated reality facility on the USS Enterprise
NCC-1701-D, the primary setting of the American science-fiction
television series Star Trek the Next Generation. The characters on the
show use the Holodeck for a variety of applications, including
recreation, training, and problem solving. Although crew
members can program in the environment or scenario they wish to
inhabit, they cannot necessarily control their experience once inside.
Things go wrong with it pretty regularly. People get stuck inside and
can’t get out. Like art, the Holodeck is an ideal world in which
refreshment and conflict go hand in hand.
The HOLODECK is a group show whose participants were each given a card from a deck of Star Trek the Next Generation playing cards as a prompt for an artwork. Each person was presented with the option to select a card with a specific character/theme or to receive a card randomly from the deck. The breakdown was about 50/50, specific vs. random. They could use the their card as a source, an object, or the starting point for any manner of conceptual strategy that suited them. The show will include a variety of 2, 3, and 4 dimensional media.
