Pioneer bio and internet artist Eduardo Kac will discuss his work "Reversed Mirror", on display in Chelsea Art Museum's Project Room for New Media until August 8. The discussion will be followed by a reception at 7 pm, and is free with museum admission. 

"Reversed Mirror" is a seven minute single channel videopoem. The text is a poem written by Kac from which he has created a constant flow and transformation of forms, presenting an ever-changing image of infinity that resonates in the context of the vastness of space. Oscillating particles emerge and evolve into ephemeral words, only to dissolve again and reemerge as new ephemeral words. This work takes language into a domain of trance where the subtle dissolution and reconfiguration of verbal particles is charged with a feeling of calmness and agitation.

Eduardo Kac (http://www.ekac.org) is known for his 1999 groundbreaking transgenic artwork Genesis, and attracted global attention in 2000 with "GPF Bunny" a.k.a. Alba, the fluorescent green rabbit.

The Project Room for New Media and Performing Arts (www.theprojectroom.org) was initiated in 2003 by Nina Colosi at Chelsea Art Museum in New York City. It is an incubator of new ideas, showcasing groundbreaking concepts in all art mediums, and the intersection of the arts through technology. Over 350 international emerging and established artists have been presented in exhibitions, performing arts, symposiums, meet-the-artist programs, workshops, and resident new music ensembles. Innovative public art projects and funding models for the arts are being developed.
