Greg Garvey
Greg Garvey, The Poetics of Mass Weighted Median Diameter, 2018, Interactive

2018

About the Item

This interactive installation explores the poetics of randomness and the liminal space between intentionality and observation, seeing and hearing, touching and listening. A vertically mounted touch sensitive display (58.76” W x 34.15” H x 3.93” D) shows algorithmically generated rain drops randomly hitting and splashing on the display surface, with drips colliding and forming larger droplets that then pull apart and follow paths dictated by gravity and surface tension. The viewer can watch and listen to the soft barely audible tapping sound of the droplets or the viewer can actively reach out and touch. This intervention changes how the droplets form and encourages a playful interaction that transforms the actualization of this work. Greg Garvey is the founder and Director of Game Design & Development at Quinnipiac University and previously chaired the Department of Visual and Performing Arts. He has exhibited at ODETTA, Brooklyn; Harvest Works and the Alternative Space Gallery on West Broadway, New York; the Landesmuseum in Linz, Austria; the Victoria and Albert Museum in London; and Tech Fest in Mumbai, India. He has held previous appointments as Visiting Fellow in the Arts at Quinnipiac and had a simultaneous appointment as Associate Artist of the Digital Media Center for the Arts at Yale University. Earlier he was Chair of the Department of Design Art at Concordia University in Montréal and served on the Board of Directors of the Montreal Design Institute. From 1983–85 he was a Fellow at the Center for Advanced Visual Studies at MIT where he also received a Masters of Science in Visual Studies in addition to a MFA from UW-Madison.
