The Public Private<\/em> will be the first New York exhibition of contemporary art to explore the impact of social media and new technologies on the relationship between the public and private realm. <\/p>\n

The artworks brought together in The Public Private\u2014several presented for the first time in the United States\u2014address these issues from psychological, legal, and economic perspectives and use strategies ranging from hacking to self-surveillance to reflect upon the profound changes in our understanding of identity, personal boundaries, and self-representation.\n<\/p>\n

Works on view include Paolo Cirio and Alessandro Ludovico\u2019s Face to Facebook<\/a><\/em>, a multimedia installation of one million Facebook profiles, which were appropriated\u201d by the artists, filtered using facial-recognition software, and then posted on a custom-made dating website sorted by facial expressions. Eva and Franco Mattes\u2019 The Others<\/a><\/em> is a video installation composed of 10,000 photos the Mattes have acquired through a software glitch that gives remote access to personal computer files. The core of the work is not just the presentation of these images, but the act of \u201cstealing\u201d and moving them from the private into the public realm.\n<\/p>\n

Other artists and works represented in the gallery include Jill Magid\u2019s Evidence Locker<\/a><\/em>, Luke Dubois\u2019 Missed Connections<\/em>, Wafaa Bilal\u2019s 3rdi<\/a><\/em>, Carlo Zanni\u2019s Self Portrait with Friends<\/a><\/em>, James Coupe’s Panoptic Panorama #2: Five People in a Room<\/em>, Paulo Cirio\u2019s Street Ghosts<\/a><\/em>, and Ben Grosser\u2019s Facebook Demetricator<\/a><\/em>. <\/p>\n

The Public Private<\/em> is curated by Christiane Paul, an Associate Professor in the School of Media Studies at The New School and Adjunct Curator of New Media Arts at the Whitney Museum of American Art.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\"\"<\/a>
