Fernanda D'Agostino: Chrysalis (Generativity)
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
Oregon Contemporary presents Chrysalis (Generativity), a solo exhibition by Fernanda D’Agostino. The exhibition is part of Site, a series of site-specific large-scale solo exhibitions by artists of the Pacific Northwest.
Chrysalis is an installation of a series of projection sculptures based on the beautiful nests of tent caterpillars. The sculptures are constructed of branches and agricultural netting. Video imagery using creative code to manipulate footage of movement artists, as well as scientific imagery, will draw from the replicating forms of nature (Generativity) to illuminate the Chrysalises. D’Agostino will be using Isadora for the creative coding and MadMapper to projection map the video onto the Chrysalises’ sculptural screens. Video projections mapped onto layered scrim in the sculptures will further multiply the imagery beyond the digital manipulations made possible by Isadora and MadMapper. Additional objects will compliment the video sculptures.
