On offer will be 400 photographs by Ansel Adams alone, along with prints by Mr. Close, Mr. Wegman, Robert Rauschenberg, David Hockney, Robert Frank, Robert Mapplethorpe, Warhol and Lucas Samaras.

one flat thing

reproduced…

A joint project of choreographer William Forsythe and Ohio State University’s Advanced Computing Center for the Arts and Design (ACCAD) and the Department of Dance, Synchronous Objects is an extensive and unique resource. This project aims to create a large set of data visualization tools for understanding and analyzing the interlocking systems of organization in the choreography of William Forsythe’s “One Flat Thing, reproduced” (2000). These systems were quantified through the collection of data and transformed into a series of objects – synchronous objects – that work in harmony to explore those choreographic structures, reveal their patterns, and re-imagine what else they might look like. As the authors explain: “Our goal in creating these objects is to engage a broad public, explore cross-disciplinary research, and spur creative discovery for specialists and non-specialists alike.”
