This three-channel moving image installation (15 minute loop) is a personal artifice assembled from ideas and images found across the socio-environment of the Internet. Its form is reminiscent of historic epics as represented in cinema and in grand panoramic paintings, while also mimicking the ubiquitous technology used for website banner advertisements.

ignored in my heaven… is a new evening-length work inspired by Rumsey’s dream and travel journals. Comprised of a suite of dances, the work shifts from literal transpositions of dreams, populated by Fellini-esque creatures clothed in fantastical costumes to candid, kinetically charged renderings of his travelogue. The work includes video projection by Marisela LaGrave/Magnetic Laboratorium. Costumes are by Rumsey in collaboration with costume designer David Quinn.

15 artists spent seven days at Location One working intensely and in restricted conditions to produce wearable creations with only the tools and materials provided to them.

Both the Doom_machine and Mechanism no.1 address our concerns and fears in the world as we embrace technology and its powers, both good and bad. Ultimately we are responsible for the power of technology and how it is used. This exhibition looks at the fear factor in the world particularly during these times of uncertainty and paranoia. It examines our innate pessimism regarding the world and our expectations for the future.

White Balance (to think is to forget differences) is an effort to uncover the geographies of power, the frontiers of privilege. It revisits this problem from different angles, creating short circuits of meaning which are hosted by improbable audiovisual matches.
