Swarm Process 6 – Casey Reas
After my last entry on the nebulous architectural drawings of Julie Mehretu I came across a post on Resarch alerting us to an exhibition currently running at The Fabric Workshop and Museum in Philadelphia, US, featuring Julie’s work among others.
’ Swarm brings together works that express swarming as a social effect generated by masses of objects, images, data, or organisms. The fascination with swarming reflects a contemporary view of nature, politics, and social life–one that favours unplanned and decentralized modes of organization.’
Other notables showing at Swarm include C.E.B. Reas, generative heavyweight and co-developer of Proce55ing, and Jason Salavon whose abstract data visualisations are featured in the show.
