Encountering the Unseen, a LASER with Morgan Barnard and Mira Burack | New Mexico Museum of Art-Vladem Contemporary

Details

Encountering the Unseen, a LASER Talk with Artists Morgan Barnard and Mira Burack will take place at the new Vladem Contemporary in Santa Fe. This thought-provoking conversation, organized by SciArt Santa Fe in collaboration with Leonardo/ISAST, explores uncharted territories of consciousness, perception, and our relationship to the environment through art. The artists, Morgan Barnard and Mira Burack, will discuss their immersive installations, Reflection Point and Sacred Bouquet, respectively. Reflection Point, created by Morgan Barnard, is an immersive light installation that incorporates real-time weather data and generative animation. The piece will be on display at the Window Box gallery and features a sculptural reflective cloud form that projects a generative data driven animation onto its exterior. On the longest night of the year, the mechanical aperture within the installation will be open for the longest duration, creating a captivating display of color, light, and movement. Mira Burack's Sacred Bouquet is a four-channel video installation and sound bath that captures a communal ceremony in the foothills of the Ortiz mountains in Cerrillos, New Mexico. The ceremony, a contemporary interpretation of the Jewish tradition on the holiday of Sukkot, honors the high desert plants and the people who sustain us through challenging times. This captivating installation was generously commissioned by Bridge Projects in Los Angeles and has been exhibited at various venues. Don't miss this unique opportunity to delve into the realm of the unseen with Morgan Barnard and Mira Burack. The LASER Talk will take place at the Vladem Contemporary in Santa Fe. Admission is by donation. Join us on December 21, 2023, for an enlightening and immersive experience.
