Kristin Lucas, University of Texas at Austin Assistant Professor of Studio Art, is featured in the group exhibition, Broadcasting: EAI at ICA, at the Institute of Contemporary Art at the University of Pennsylvania. Broadcasting brings together an intergenerational group of artists whose time-based artworks are produced in concert with their means of circulation, from the democratic platform of public access television to the instantaneity of social media.
Founded in 1971, Electronic Arts Intermix (EAI) was one of the first nonprofit organizations dedicated to the advocacy for and development of video as an art form. Drawing on EAI’s extraordinary archive and building upon ICA’s history of engagement with media art, Broadcasting will focus on how artists exploit the act of “broadcast” as a subject, as a means of intervention, and as a form of participation across a variety of displays.
Lucas’ work will pair the intangible with the uncertain in experiential works that lie somewhere between reality and “reality”. Her recent projects exist in a variety of forms, including video animation, Augmented Reality, and Virtual Reality; with her most recent work recreating a flamingo courtship march in augmented reality. As the latest Artist in Residence in Everglades, Lucas plans to observe, document, 3d model, rig and animate the likeness of species she encounters.
