San Francisco: Join us on Wednesday, February 6 for a panel discussion in conjunction with The Network Paradox by artist Greg Niemeyer and computer scientist and artist Roger Antonsen at Catharine Clark Gallery (
https://cclarkgallery.com/exhibitions/Niemeyer-and-Antonsen-the-network-paradox). Realized in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Internet, The Network Paradox depicts “an animated view of the evolution of the Internet from 1969 to 2019,” as Niemeyer describes, while inviting meditation on how we form communities through technologies.
In the spirit of Niemeyer and Antonsen's animated view of the evolution of the internet and the idea that the exhibit invites meditation on how we form communities through technology, the gallery presents art historian Terri Cohn and Sonya Rapoport Legacy Trust Director Farley Gwazda - representing the estate of Sonya Rapoport (www.sonyarapoport.org) who in 1970 began working on computer print outs using a personal language pattern - and Greg Niemeyer in conversation.
Panel begins at 5:30pm and ends at 7pm.
