Eduardo Kac. On the Moon and Beyond

Pioneer bio and internet artist Eduardo Kac’s videopoem “Reversed Mirror” (1997) will be exhibited July 7 through August 8 in The Project Room for New Media at Chelsea Art Museum in New York City. From June 1 to September 14 Kac is also exhibiting throughout The Project Room’s Streaming Museum cyberspace and international public space network, a video of his new transgenic award-winning “Natural History of an Enigma”. The theme of the exhibitions, “On the Moon and Beyond”, commemorates the 40th anniversary of man’s first walk on the moon on July 20, 1969.

“Reversed Mirror” by artist Eduardo Kac is a seven minute single channel videopoem. The text is a poem written by Kac from which he has created a constant flow and transformation of forms, presenting an ever-changing image of infinity that resonates in the context of the vastness of space. Oscillating particles emerge and evolve into ephemeral words, only to dissolve again and reemerge as new ephemeral words. This work takes language into a domain of trance where the subtle dissolution and reconfiguration of verbal particles is charged with a feeling of calmness and agitation.
