The artists featured in RENDER: New Construction in Video Art explore the physical and phenomenological processes of video in contemporary art. Their works examines the intermingling of the materiality of technology and video in which pixels and particle units from digital applications, software and film are applied to interpret new layers of mediated work. "Render" or "rendering" is the process used through numerous disciplines in the visual arts that creates the final image. In digital media it is a process where a computer compiles and completes the final edits into a single continuous clip. While the works in the exhibition focus on techniques generated by modern digital technology, early photographic artifices and practices such as stereoscopy popularized in the 1900s, the Zone System formulated by Ansel Adams, and Eadweard Muybridge's study of movement resonate with the context of the videos presented. The techniques that contribute to the rendering process of the videos range from multi-layering, superimposition, colorization, image mapping, pixelation and time manipulation.

Support for RENDER: New Construction in Video Art is provided by UCR's College of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences. ByteMaps &#124; Panel Discussion is supported by the Gluck Fellows Program of the Arts at UC Riverside. The Gluck Fellows Program is made possible by the generosity of the Maxwell H. Gluck Foundation.

Organized by UCR California Museum of Photography and curated by Jeff Cain, Exhibition Designer, UCR ARTSblock; Jennifer Frias, Associate Curator, UCR Sweeney Art Gallery; and Georg Burwick, Director of Digital Media, UCR ARTSblock.

HALFWAY TO VEGAS is a selection of film/video works of artist, Asher Hartman. Known for his work in the intersection of performance and theater, Hartman uses utterance, gesture and the inane parlance of the entertainment industry to explore the losses inherent in the performance of American masculinity in his film/video works. The three works featured in HALFWAY TO VEGAS were shot before, during, and after Hartman’s transition from female to male reflecting bewilderment at the debilitating scripts of American masculinity. Infantile and speechless, blathering and sadistic, the characters in Hartman’s film/video works seem to be desperately scanning for respite inside the farcical negotiations for power and privilege they set up and fracture.

Asher Hartman is an interdisciplinary artist whose practice centers on the exploration of the self in relation to Western histories and ideologies. Hartman’s work has been exhibited extensively including at The Hammer Museum/Machine AIR, Whitney Biennial in collaboration with Curious Notch and Charles Long, the Beijing Open Performance Festival, The Cultural Center of the Philippines (Manila), Recontres International (Paris/Berlin), Torrance Art Museum, MIX/NYC and Migrating Forms (New York), London Underground Film Fest and Images (Toronto) and in a number of Los Angeles venues including solo and collaborative performances at Machine Project, LACE, Sea and Space Explorations, Monte Vista Projects, Human Resources, Track 16, and Highways Performance Space, and New Image Art. Forthcoming are performances at The Walker Art Center and a large-scale installation performance at Machine Project. Hartman received his BA from UCLA and MFA from CalArts. set up and fracture.

		<description>El Camino Real (2011  TRT 12 min) is a synchronized three channel HD video project that charts the path of an artist intervention based on the original path of Gaspar de Portola's 18th century expedition up the California coast.  As Portola made his quest, he and his camp spread brassica nigra, European black mustard, to mark the trail.  Scientists now regard brassica nigra as an invasive species that kills native plants with toxic chemicals and aggressive seeding.

The video cycles through structurally, with one of the three monitors changing every 5 seconds. Beginning with botanically intact native biomes, the imagery evolves to Cain cutting a new trail through the vast landscapes of mustard fields. 

The audio of El Camino Real alternates between a bi-lingual voice over of Protola's journaled description of the native landscape, and of scientific writing detailing the mechanics of how brassica nigra invades California landscapes.

Utopia! Is an experimental curatorial art project that takes one of the most competitive juried exhibitions in the country that every year is also one of the most attended art exhibitions in the country and turns the selection process over to the public by using the internet.

Participants uploaded their images online and then they would vote online through a "this-or-that" style voting interface. Over the 10 weeks of submissions and 6 weeks of voting, Utopia! received over three thousand submissions and over 1 million unique votes. In the end, only 120 works were accepted and asked to be delivered for exhibition. Although every submitted work was shown virtually on a loop on monitors in the gallery.

The exhibition brought up questions and discussions on how we value art, how we behave in a community, and how these ideas differ in online spaces versus physical spaces. The process engaged strong dialog on the discussion board about artistic merit, community, fairness, and ethics. Through the discussion and tracking voting results, a vast quantity of data was collected that gave interpretive and anecdotal context for each piece. This supplementary information was displayed on the four kiosks in the exhibition.

SWARM is a multi-part collaborative community project with Suzanne Lacy and Kim Ables with a culminating performance at LACMA during the Los Angeles Art Awards. 

The three of us began by initiating a High School educational program where we taught an alternative contemporary art history - one that mainly focused on artists still living in Los Angeles who were women and people of color who made their first major contributions to the arts in the 70's. We then contacted these artists and arranged for the students to create radio interviews with them.

The final performance was to be in the enclosed glass cafe during the LACMA awards ceremony which happened in the outdoor court yard. In the enclosed space we set up lights and sound where we would throw a dance party for 100 teenagers and their friends who took part in out curriculum. This party would happen simultaneously with the awards. 

Intermittently though the evening, the party would stop and the students would perform a live radio interview that was broadcast city wide through a temporary unlicensed transmitter. While the radio interviews were happening, some teenagers would walk through and loiter in the awards ceremony holding boom boxes that were playing the live transmission of the interviews.

When the interview was over the dance party would resume. This pattern would continue untill all of our artists were interviewed and the evening was over.</description>

It was a collaboration with artist and programmer Doug Goodwin.

RHZ Radio was a complicated internet and broadcast radio hybrid that was was specifically engineered to bypass the regulation of the law without breaking any laws. It is essentially a cast sculpture that uses the legal peramerters of radio .....

Everyone in the USA has the right to a small broadcast transmitter that spans about a quarter mile and needs no license. There is no law against having transmitters work together, so RHZ Radio networked these transmitters over the internet. For a full explanation of the system please link here. [link]

Because RHZ was completely legal, all software was open source and all content was originally produced material that would be released under a Creative Capital license or would be already in the public domain. In the end RHZ radio had commissioned over 40 hours or original content including audio vegan cooking shows, do it yourself lessons, movie review, original music, Chinese talk radio with the Business Improvement District, and public domain radio dramas.

The experiment lasted for over 4 months and had several events that would produce programming. In this picture we rented a karaoke DJ that came with a broadcast license. This was the only time commercial music was played over our airwaves.

In the end RHZ was sited for using an exterior electrical extension cord to our main transmitter tower which was not approved by a licensed electrician. This hitch, and the organizational strain of managing a half dozen radio transmitters with a half dozen owner/operators ended the project's test run. RHZ is now waiting in development for finding and a community that can support it's second run.</description>

Station is a four channel video installation that takes real time radio signals from the electromagnetic disturbances that cause the Northern Lights, and uses that information to generate live video manipulation on the four screens. The signals are generated world round, but only make the Northern Lights, this installation becomes a unnatural stand-in driven by the same natural phenomenon.

Station is a collaborative project by

LAPD Public Radio is a project that originally was located at Slauson and Western in what was formerly known as South Central Los Angeles. This specific area has a new mall with a Home Depot and Starbucks, but in 1993 it was almost completely burned and looted in the Los Angeles Riots.

The installation is made of two major components. Firstly, there is a didactic that explains a brief history of LAPD radio which was originally broadcast on AM 1712 where anyone with a conventional radio in one's home or car could listen in. As technology became more advanced, public access began to dwindle but was largely open for all to hear until 2001 when the city went to an encrypted digital signal that required expensive equipment and technical sophistication to decode.

The second element, and the actual intervention, is a pedestal of electronic equipment that receives real time digitally encrypted radio, decodes it, and retransmits it on the original 1712 radio station that LAPD started publicly broadcasting on 70 years ago.
