East of Fallon, Highway 50, Nevada presents a new installation work by artist Joseph DeLappe involving kinetic sculpture, video projection and streaming video on the internet. The artist’s intent is to create contemplative, filmic moments in time and space. The installation features an 8-foot tall wheel sculpture. Sculpted on the interior surface is a continuous model of a section of Highway 50, including roadbed and ground scenery. The entire wheel structure is motorized for continuous motion. A color mini-video camera is mounted to the outside supports of the structure and hovers directly over the rotating road surface while illuminated by two tiny lights. The point of view of the camera records, in real time, the image as if one were driving on the highway late at night with the only illumination being the headlights of one’s car. The resulting video image (which for all appearances looks as if one was seeing a driver’s point of view) is projected in a large format on the adjacent wall of the NMA’s Media Gallery as well as streamed, live, to the Internet, allowing DeLappe’s never-ending drive on “America’s Loneliest Road” to be simulated on the information superhighway. The artist invites viewers to visit www.delappe.ws to view the live image. The streaming image is available online during regular gallery hours, Tuesday through Sunday 11am to 6pm and on Thursdays until 8pm. EXHIBITION BASED PROGRAM The Poetry of Gaming.3 - lecture and performance in the Wayne and Miriam Prim Theater. Thursday, November 13 6pm DeLappe will present The Poetry of Gaming.3, featuring selected online poetry readings in first person shooter game environments. The performance will be presented with a short lecture and discussion regarding DeLappe’s work. The emergence of interactive, online “first person shooter” game spaces are emerging as potentially rich environments for creative interventions. The hyper-violent, virtual world of online gaming, featuring futuristic settings designed for purely visceral, simulated, mayhem presents an ideal forum for conceptual engagement. Cost: lecture: $5 non-members, $4 members; lecture/gallery: $10 adults, $8 seniors/students. Reservations are required, please call 775.329.3333 ex. 254.
