  • Motion: An Exhibition of Essentialist Film and Video. The 58th Exhibition of Central New York Artists Bibliography

    Ralph Hocking offers an artist statement for a computer-based installation slated for fall 1999; his listed installation works are Jump, diggit and Running, and he links the project to prior study in pottery. The work uses four to nine monitors, each driven by its own Amiga with one video and two audio outputs and a serial link to a master referee computer; the Amiga provides four oscillators and image and sound sampling, and imagery is altered by digital processing techniques including convolving, bit swapping and field manipulation, producing three-dimensional illusions. The project is part of Motion: The 58th Exhibition of Central New York Artists at the Munson Williams Proctor Institute, October 2, 1999 to January 2, 2000, curated by John Knecht.
