Lisa Gwilliam '95 and Ray Sweeten discuss the evolutions of their past work and current collaboration as DataSpaceTime. From Painting & Fabrication, Sound and Video Art, to integrated System Works, the duo describes their approach and materials. They will discuss some of the technologies they have developed to produce their work and how these technologies, and the data generated from them, intersect with sound/performance, moving image, still photography, printing techniques, and installation.
Lisa Gwilliam '95 and Ray Sweeten made their debut as DataSpaceTime in November 2011 with the exhibition “the optimal value for y” at Microscope Gallery. The artists use current technologies that are further developed or redirected as a means to consider the culture of informatics and the thresholds of image recognition and perception across various mediums. Gwilliam & Sweeten’s work was most recently on view in the solo exhibits “Echelons” at Microscope Gallery (2016), “Cryptophasia” at the Brooklyn Academy of Music (Fall 2015) as part of NextWave Art, and the six-channel installation “Breakout,” commissioned by The Parrish Museum at New York City Center January through December 2015. Their work was also on view in the group shows “Day In Day Out” at geh8, Dresden, Germany (Sept - Oct 2015) and “Altarations” Schmidt Center Gallery of FAU, Boca Raton, Florida (Dec 2014 - Feb 2015). Their work has also previously appeared in “Dialogics” at Rowan University Art Gallery, New Jersey (Sept - Oct 2013) and “Engage Detroit”, Whitdel Arts Center, Detroit, Michigan (2013), among others. Gwilliam & Sweeten live and work in Brooklyn, New York.
