In conjunction with the Milwaukee Avenue Arts Festival, Plural’s site-specific interactive installation is a visual metaphor of the Whistler, consisting of two parts:
– a catalog / inventory of all the objects in the bar to be displayed in the front window.
– an interactive light installation that will output different colors based on the average volume of the sound in the bar. Over the course of the night, the color will fluctuate, allowing passerby’s to see how active the bar is inside.

OPENING RECEPTION!
The Whistler Storefront Gallery is proud to celebrate the opening of carlsweets new installation analog gravity. The piece is strange and lovely pinpricks of light and form, blur and distortion. Indebted to the camera obscura, Moholy-Nagy’s OpArt, and Nam June Paik, the work creates a sensation of movement, bursting colors, and shifting shapes by toying with how our eyes perceive. Using simple (analog) tools — lenses, a lightbox, and a tired print of some forgotten birthday party, carlsweets (known for his photography) explores, in a fundamental and beautiful way, how we see.
analog gravity will display through the end of May 2009.
