POLAR IDENTITY
An international exhibition
Can’t make it to downtown San Jose? Join us virtually at SWITCH. We will have live streaming of the opening. See the opening through U-Stream LIVE! go to for First Friday action.
Global climate change has far reaching ramifications, and as a result
the world as we know it will not be the world of 100 or perhaps even 10
years. Armed with an awareness of how our actions impact the
environment, how will this affect our ideas about who we are? This was
the question posed by CADRE New Media Lab at San Jose State University
in an open call to artists earlier this summer.
From
entries all over the world, six finalists were chosen. Leading artist
Andrea Polli, seen at 01SJ 2008, will be exhibiting her work Sonic
Antarctica We are also excited to feature the work Markers and
100,000-year journey by Xavier Cortada. Other works exploring the poles
include Jerome Gueneau and Catherine Rannou, Phil Boissonnet, Andrea
Juan, and Erika Blumenfeld. The jurors for the exhibit include
surveillance artist Hasan Elahi, new media artist Robin Lasser and
writer/curator Annick Bureaud.
