Two multi-channel video and sound installations by David Kwan invite
the study of emergent systems, from their building blocks to their
transformation into complex forms.

Inspired by end-of-land vistas of the greater Pacific Rim, TERMINUS
(2007) is an evolving tableau of the vast light, water and landforms
in this coastal expanse. Kwan collects images and sounds from the
terminal points for various roadways, shipping and rail lines from the
length of San Francisco to Orcas Island and randomly superimposes them
to produce a continuously transforming environment. As component
elements progressively enter and leave, the composite landscape and
soundscape grow with determined complexity and organicism.

In SOLARIS (2006), Kwan uses terrestrial sound in the form of radio
waves as the basis for generating patterns and then shaping the space
in which they inhabit. Following the notion that sound waves
propagated the earliest clustering of matter, he reveals a wealth of
images from the electromagnetic signature of present-day sound
phenomena.

The work in this exhibit was made possible with the generous support
of Jack Straw Productions in Seattle, WA, and the Experimental
Television Center in Owego, NY.
