It's rare that we announce art exhibits, but this seemed particularly
interesting, even though its web appearance seems uncertain.

SARA ROBERTS: PHYSICAL FICTION
In PHYSICAL FICTION, four interactive computer installations by
Sara Roberts (http://shoko.calarts.edu/faculty/sroberts.html) explore
the emotional frontier of human-machine relations. The works -- EARLY
PROGRAMMING; DIGITAL MUSEUM; ELECTIVE AFFINITIES; and UNTITLED, GAME --
span a decade in the development of hypermedia art.
"My fascination with mechanism - that is not mechanism as a noun but as
the practice of making things that go without our pushing them...
relates to the way that throughout history people have used the
technology of the time to interpret their own internal and psychological
workings," Roberts has stated, in an interview on Arts Wire's Interactive
Arts Conference. "....early man tended to think of themselves as types of
vessels, alchemical times saw psychology as the result of combinations
of substances called humors, In Freud's time the general populace was
coming in contact with hydraulic and steam engine technology - mental
states were a matter of pressures released and suppressed...now we are on
autopilot, in default mode, computer culture provides us with all kinds
of metaphors for what's going on inside..people have made mechanistic
representations of living things for ages, and I see myself as carrying
on in that tradition."
