The SFBay: A Mediamorphology Mediamorphology In Process
Krowswork is pleased to present The SFBay: A Mediamorphology, an exhibition collaboration by Sonja Hinrichsen and Chris Treggiari. The immersive media environment consists of a sculptural installation, multiple video projections, audio collages and two-dimensional works. The installation will address the geomorphological history of the San Francisco Bay, its rapid change due to the effects of man’s development of the area and contemplations of the future of the Bay. The artists want to enable the viewer to experience the past, present and future of the Bay in a multimedia installation. Upon entering the gallery, the audience will be immersed in a surrounded experience of a modeled “environment” with moving projected images and sound collages taken from our site-specific research of the Bay Area. Videos projected onto their created topography will address different locations in Oakland and around the Bay and will interweave walks through present-day neighborhoods with historic images and information. The sculptural installation and projections will live in two of the gallery spaces and will explore the past and present geographical, topographical and urban features of Oakland and the larger Bay Area. In the third gallery space the artists will investigate future implications of transformation – for instance resulting from climate change - on the Bay Area through video and two-dimensional works.
