KYLIE LOCKWOOD: THE FINGERTIP IS AN IMAGE-FORMING ORGAN OF SIGHT.
COOP Gallery / 507B Hagan St. February 3, 2018 - February 24, 2018
Kylie Lockwood
The fingertip is an image-forming organ of sight. The eye is the part of the body you use to meet a surface without overlapping or penetrating in order to grasp what something feels like.
This exhibition brings together work Kylie Lockwood made in collaboration with Daryn R Blanc-Goldhammer at the University of Oregon’s Department of Cognitive Neuroscience. Focusing on investigations in human perception, this work consists of multiple sculptures made in response to the experiences and conversations Lockwood engaged in while artist in residence at the U of O’s Lewis Integrative Science Building.
The primary component of the work is a binaural audio recorder cast from the artist’s head. This device creates a binaural soundscape, exploring the space between a first-hand experience of place and the mediation of that experience though a surrogate self.
