  The breathtaking evolution of the speed and complexity of information systems has powerfully affected sculptural practice. Streaming data systems have transformed a relatively static art form into a realm characterized by nontraditional approaches to sculpture. These new methods lead to works that break away from common conceptions of sculpture into the realization of moving, sonic, filmic, and interactive sculptural spaces. Several of the pieces in this exhibition highlight icons of information, such as books, print, X-rays, and typewriters. In other pieces, that information has gone 'underground,' completely hidden within the invisible yet boundless world of digital information technology.
