The Edge of Reasons, a multichannel video installation, records an experiment in which human-created vibration is translated into ripples, causing bioluminescent marine organisms to glow. Filming at the Latz Laboratory, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, Khoo varied sound stimulation, flow visualization and macro videography to reimagine the phenomenon of bioluminescence. The project is supported by the MEAD Fellowship, University of Arts London, UK. MORE INFO

Cooper’s exhibition superimposes complex virtual sculptures onto documentary images of Upfor’s physical gallery space–all of which will in turn be digitally displayed at TRANSFER’s Brooklyn space in a virtual/physical/digital mashup. The exhibition also launches a physical book of virtual sculpture and a digital download album that Cooper created to accompany the online exhibition.
