We live in a sea of information: The Internet and the 24-hour news cycle have dissolved national and international boundaries. We have friends with whom we communicate who we have never met, living in countries we have never visited. We wake up, if we sleep at all, with new messages waiting on our phones, on our computers. Anything we want to know or want to see is available to us, falling like mythical droplets from God.

Ricardo Rivera will present a series of activated digital sculptures that address and embody our new world. Images seen on whirling monitors seem to float in the very air through which they traveled. Scenes with shattered and forgotten images cast by a projector dissolving into time and space fall into a constructed Einsteinian Black Hole. Other pictures, other projections, break apart the old mode of linear thought, presenting an appreciation and critique of the constant present that has a density of experience and a sense of infinite possibilities that can only be ordered or even created by the imagination of the participating viewer.
