Installation: Accidentally Horses by Research Artist-in-Residence Ari Riggins
Research Artist-in-Residence Ari Riggins presents: Accidentally Horses
Sunday, April 21st | 1:30 PM - 4:30 PM
As a continuation of her work with motion capture projections and animation, Riggins creates an immersive space of both constructive and conceptual layers. She uses digital modeling, textile sculpture, animated projections and audience movement to investigate themes of digital landscape and the origins of computing. Inspired by the morphing and self-constructing landscapes of Assateague island and its origin-defying population of wild horses, Riggins explores how nature both constructs and breaks down technology. She searches for the humanity within programming and seeks to identify the threads between computers and nature.
Doors open and installation begins at 1:30 PM. Drop-ins welcome!

Ari Riggins is a multimedia research-based artist. Her practice explores contemporary conceptions of the body and both the literal and social transitions of humans into a cyborgian existence. By creating unique material combinations ranging from insects, textile and self-grown crystals to digital media and animations, Riggins is able to illuminate the dualism of the physical and digital in a logic-based manner.
