Ahoy, Mateys! Sea and Space has docked once again. This time for a  
celestial technical interactive extravaganza and not of the  
oppressive capitalistic kind. We anchor on the land of magical  
delights which undo their capitalistic vehicles in the name of play.  
Come and wrap your tentacles around the art and play with the sounds,  
lights, and games. And marvel at the machinations of outer galactic  
mastermind N_DREW (aka Andrew Bucksbarg) who will be performing  
during the three hour tour.

Performances:

Shufflesition. Interactive IPod Shuffle performance.
To be played by gallery visitors.

Description from the shufflesition website:

Shufflesition: Imposition, Composition, Juxtaposition

A Shufflesition is a mobile system for movement and dance. We use the  
random playback feature on Apple iPod Shuffles to direct the movement  
of Shufflers (participants).

A Shufflesition can take the form of a game, a dance, a musical  
performance, or a social experiment. We're very interested in having  
a variety of people from different backgrounds write their own  
Shufflesitions, adding to the possibilities.

Shufflesition was designed by Andrew Bucksbarg and Charlie Hoyt.

A handheld, mobile audio-improvisual, participatory extravaganza...

Sea and Space Explorations is pleased to announce A/V PLAY! a solo  
show with exciting new works and performances by N_DREW (aka Andrew  
Bucksbarg), as well as collaborative work with Charlie Hoyt.

"People tend to forget that play is serious." -David Hockney

A/V PLAY! explores sights and sounds with handheld electronic audio- 
visual objects and digital cinematic installations centering on works  
that require participation for their activation.

A/V PLAY! Investigates the frontier of play through process, concept  
and use.   Play is considered important part of a child's physical,  
psychological, social and emotional development and well-being and  
extends well into adulthood in a myriad of ambiguous ways. Play is  
described by sociologist David Reisman as a quality, as opposed to an  
activity. A/V PLAY! seeks to explore these qualities through audio- 
visual activities that focus on live, improvised and interactive  
projects.

A/V PLAY! delves into the artist's practice as play in an era of  
digital media and technology, from hacked and custom electronics,  
circuit bending, audio-visual noise and rhythms, and VJing to mobile  
performance using iPod Shuffles, as well as other interactive  
cinematic work.

N_DREW (aka Andrew Bucksbarg) is a media artist, experimental  
interaction designer, audio-visual performer and professor in the  
Department of Telecommunications at Indiana University. N_DREW 's  
work and interests reverberate in the space of new technology/media  
practices and theory. As an experimental interaction artist, N_DREW  
concerns himself with technologies and social systems that support  
tactics of ambiguous, autonomous social creativity and exchange.

N_DREW received an M.F.A. from California Institute of the Arts in  
New Media and Integrated Media in 1999. organicode.net -
