In the Seeing Gallery
June 10 – September 11
Sculptural works by American and European artists Margaret Michel, Michael Rees, Shirley Shor, and Mary Tsiongas feature icons of information, such as books, print, X-rays, and typewriters. With some, the information has gone “underground”—completely hidden within the invisible world of digital technology. The exhibition explores how the development of information systems and data-processing technology has affected sculpture with streaming informational systems. The exhibition is free with museum admission. http://www.exploratorium.edu
