Ikeda: data.tron/data.scan</span></b><b><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"><br>
</span></b><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">Paris-based
artist Ryoji Ikeda’s data.tron/data.scan is an audiovisual installation
where visitors will experience the vast universe of data in the
infinite between 0 and 1. Each single pixel of visual image is strictly
calculated by mathematical principle, composed from a combination of
pure mathematics and the vast sea of data present in the world. These
two works are part of Ikeda’s datamatics project, a long–term programme
of moving image, sculptural, sound and new media works that take data
as their theme and material, exploring the ways in which abstracted
views of reality – data – are used to encode, understand and control
the world. The exhibition is produced in conjunction with the 10th
Anniversary of the Surrey Art Gallery’s TechLab digital art residency
and exhibition program. data.scan is co-produced by Surrey Art Gallery
and Forma (<a href="http://forma.org.uk" target="_blank">forma.org.uk</a>). data.tron is co-produced by Le Fresnoy,
Studio national des arts contemporains and Forma. Continues to December
13</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 115%;"><b><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">Infinite
Egress</span></b><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"><br>
Considered by some to be the ultimate abstraction, the concept of the
infinite has compelled many modern and contemporary artists to try to
capture its essence. Infinite Egress presents work from two recent
moments of heightened interest in the infinite: the beginning of the
1970s and the last half of this decade. Borrowing from visual languages
associated with fashion and commercial display, entertainment and
spectacle, spirituality and transcendental experience, optics and
architecture, the artworks presented here consider the concept of
infinity in relation to the body and its movement through space.
Exhibiting artists: David Dyment & Roula Partheniou, Babak Golkar,
Robert Kleyn, Lucy Pullen, and Robert Smithson. Continues to December 13</span></p>

Ear</span></b><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"><br>
Building on the legacy of 1960s Op Art this exhibition presents three
works of media art (film, video and computer graphics) that strip down
their respective mediums to their bare essentials revealing the close
link between sound, image and geometrical abstraction in time-based
media from the 1970s. The artists in this exhibition are Norman
McLaren, Steina and Woody Vasulka, and Elizabeth Vander Zaag. Continues
to December 13</span></p>
