The Uncertainty Principle
Early in the last century, Werner Heisenberg discovered the fundamental structure of our visual
reality, the atom, was not just difficult to visualize, it was impossible to visualize. In essence, the fact that
humans can never be certain of the truth of our perception means that we cannot discern
reality for certain.
At the most fundamental level, this observation flows through art from Duchamp to Post-Structuralism.
In fact, not knowing, as Donald Barthelme eloquently describes it, is the way art gets made.
I view my own work as an attempt to, in an aesthetically interesting way, do what Heisenberg described
as basic to all matter and perhaps all matters. The work is successful when it inhabits two states. One
state assures the viewer that the aesthetics on which they have built their observations is being satisfied.
However, sufficient observation (Heisenberg places the observer squarely in the center of a quantum
universe which is revealed dependent on that viewer’s perceptual suppositions) will inevitably lead to the
recognition that the work has failed due to the nature by which it has succeeded.
David Foster Wallace recognizes that this ³bothness² is the only suitable exit strategy from an art world
that can neither continue its ironic and doubt-filled journey to nothingness, nor revert to a non-ironic
sincerity. I aspire to investigate what remains.
I produce unique multiples. I make sincere work that collapses under the weight of its own sincerity.
I search for the tiniest DNA marker that reveals the source of fifty years of human suffering, and I find
nothing more than one tumbling die (pun intended) among billions. I lie whenever I try to tell the truth.

I started out as a photographer. Trained in classical B&W photography at an early age, I had a well-developed sense of light
and texture by age ten. By the time I moved on, I was a veteran of FSA Red Bleach, Polysulphide, Selenium, Tetenal Copper,
Infrared, Calotypes, Daguerrotypes, etc. But photography seemed so limiting. Technology would eventually change all that,
but we’re not there, yet.
After photography, I was a musician for fourteen years; played professionally for a time, working on a few jazz and classical
albums. Then I moved to painting; painted a few abstracts. Then to sculpture, granite and wood. Then to poetry; one small
book published. Then to prose; two books published. Then back to photography, albeit the technology of photography and
image capture.
I started Smoke City Studio in 1996, to deconstruct and fuse all things analog and digital in the illusion we see all around
us, and to export the saturated colors and textures I’d had inside my head since I was a child – colors and textures I often
saw when I played or listened to music, or wrote poetry and prose. I began a search for a way to explore an infinite
interior space that was both timeless and boundless, trying to create a kind of spiritual snapshot of whatever it is that
flows around and through us all the time, in a realm we can’t see but somehow sense and are immanently a prime
component. The more I trusted this path, the closer I approached the intersection of art and music and writing, as well
as being able to communicate the universality and connectedness I felt we all share at some level beyond clever.
After a decade of excising complementary metal–oxide–semiconductors (CMOS) and charged-coupled devices (CCD)
from old digital cameras, wiring them together and running them through powerful magnetic fields, I hit upon a way of
throwing myriad color and depth into the pursuit of texture and image, preserving the complex process as a simple
photograph and encasing the result in a aluminum/polycarbonate (AL/C) matrix. My subsequent images are a tumultuous
marriage of technology and art, developed over the course of half a lifetime of analog and digital experimentation and
personal growth, across a range of mediums and disciplines.
Haida artist Bill Reid once said, “Art can never be understood, but can only be seen as a form of magic, the most
profound and mysterious of all human activities.” And writer Arthur C. Clarke said that, “Any sufficiently advanced
technology is indistinguishable from magic.” In there, somewhere, can be found Smoke City Studio.

Over the last few years I have been creating works on paper, sculptures and installations that are fueled by my love of
drawing and mark making. In my current body of work I have created a series of “drawing-projects” that produce complex
abstract compositions, and videos that reference the act of drawing. At the root of these projects is a constant tension
between control and the loss of control. My work is concept driven, and I often utilize objects that reference printmaking
and the multiple.
Since I am surrounded by antique maps at the gallery that I work at, I’ve really gotten interested in not only in the historic
importance of maps but also their political and social significance. Since vast portions of the world was being mapped for
the first time in the 16th cent. there was an enormous land grab by countries that were often at odds with each other to
acquire the most new territory. This signified power and expanded their empires in terms of land, natural resources and
manpower. Through warfare and treaties these new territories often changed hands multiple times, and by the time a map
was published the information would already be out of date. The maps themselves would often be altered by the
cartographer for political means, and landscape features would either be exaggerated or excluded all together.
Tall Tales are works are primarily influenced by maps and topographical schematics. I see the “Tall Tales” series as images
of micro-topographies, isolated sections of a map where a history has occurred, but the details have either been
forgotten, mythified or intentionally changed. The title for this series alludes to this notion. Throughout this series I have
utilized an iconic key of identical groupings of patterns and marks, but no information as to what they signify. I also see
these as components in a narrative that carries over from drawing to drawing to create a contextual fabric throughout
the series. These similar marks also reference the key of a map, in which certain standardized patterns represent things
like mountains, rivers, roads, etc.
The element of chance plays a great hand in the process of making these. I start off by dropping a large blot of ink
(or paint) in the middle of the paper and shake it horizontally and vertically to create the thick black lines in the
composition. When the ink (or paint) is still fluid I also go back in and blow it across the page to create the smaller lines.
I see this synonymous to charting a map for the first time in a newly discovered imaginary landscape.

This body of work uses water as a metaphor to illustrate the ever-present alchemy of our existence. Water is the essence
of life. In its duality, water is extremely powerful - crashing and yet, also, calming; we cannot live without it. The work ex-
plores the different states of being within water. It touches on how we flow through our lives striving for a state of grace
and beauty. Like our blue planet, our bodies are 70% water, yet we still have a need to ground ourselves; the paradox of
standing still while always flowing. In many ways we are between states, part spirit and part matter, part liquid and part
solid. I sought to use the lyrical dance of light, space and color to explore and manifest these ideas in glass and photography.
Having grown up around water, I have always had a personal affinity towards it. When I dive into any body of water
I immediately have an intense and profound sense of joy and wonder. Both water and glass have an amazing ability to
reflect and refract light. Their prismatic qualities display the infinite patterns of nature in exquisite variety. These reflections
illustrate the organic order in nature that is defined by the divine mathematical proportion of the golden mean. Further
examples in water can be seen in the hollow curl of a wave or the rhythmic distance between ripples on a lake. Journalist,
Steve Hawk, sums up these sensations beautifully in the film, Stepping into Liquid:
The wave is a unifying force in the universe. There are light waves, sound waves, and ocean waves are the only form in
which they are at a human scale. They move at a speed about as fast as we run. They’re in this beautiful medium- the
Ocean. All it takes is one wave, not even that, one turn, you know, just a moment. It keeps pulling you back to have
another moment. It never ends.
Space and distance are just as critical as matter. Every atom in the world is empty. All our cells have a nucleus, but they
are mostly space. Through my sculpture, I’ve tried to capture this space in between and within illustrating the importance
of what is inside of us, as well as the energy that exists between two people when connecting with each other. These
thoughts are represented in the hollows of the sensual forms and the ways the light shifts through them changing the hues
of the color and the colors themselves. It illustrates my kaleidoscope theory of color and its infinite variations representing
the layers and complexity of each individual self as well as our relationships towards each other.
The Legend of the Baal-shem describes infinity as “its end is already contained in its beginning, and a new beginning in its
end.” Therefore, one might find infinity in the space in between by simultaneously listening to the passionate songs and
the stillness that lie within. For me, this is the exquisite mystical beauty of life contained in every drop of water and every
breath we take. As an artist, I infuse each piece with elements of these concepts. Each viewer brings his or her own
experiences, so my thoughts are only meant as an addition to how the audience sees the work. Above all, I want the
viewer to EXPERIENCE the work- to feel it and find a moment of peace or beauty. 17

“Memory Holes v.1, and v.2” are from a larger body of work, across various media, which draws a parallel between the
compression and “reformatting” of memory in a silicon chip and in a a human “memory” and consciousness. These specific
images are from series of performative gestures throughout New York City (shown in May 2008 for a Berlin exhibition
entitled “Urban Space”) in which “Memory Holes v. 1” was reinserted back into the subway tunnel in which it was shot, as
covert subway advertising. It then acts as a prop in a ensuing video shot on site, in which the artist/protagonist will pass by
his own image in a series of “strange loop” generating actions.
The imagery in both works uses the mirror (as in the glass in storefronts, subway cars or a passing strangers eyes etc) as a
simultaneous exaltation, warping, and obliteration of memory extending it to the self-conscious, yet frenetic, urban experience.
A mirror reflection instantly collides past, present and future in one gaze. There is the past the viewer brings through
pre-conception, and perceived “self-image”, the present that changes before their very eyes through refracting light waves,
and the future of the elusive “tomorrow” and the momento mori of eventual death.
The urban experience is also built on a convergence of past, present and future. One is simultaneously confronted with
a city’s history (far and recent, traumatic and triumphant, actual and folkloric), and it’s everchanging and chaotic present
which bleeds into its projected future (gentrification, development). With this fragmenting of “time”, how can one place or
perceive one’s self? How can one not feel anonymous or as a turning cog in a market economy machination? The irony of
this exists profoundly in urban marketing strategies; both in the advertising content itself and its proliferation. A repetition
of “self-conscious” images redirect this “self-seeking” impulse into a desire for/consumption of “luxury” goods over any
self- “awareness” that exists outside of this same economy. Ironically the mirror’s reflective action, parallels the feedback
loop of life in a capitalist economy.
The mirror image is also meant to be portal-like, speaking to the psychogeography of the city, in which one’s environ-
ment is in a constant dramatic flux. Different worlds can be “randomly accessed” with a few footsteps or emergence from
a subway tunnel. This portal today may be one-sided as well, as in surveillance or “security”. These themes however, are
touched on in other stages of the work, in which security mirrors are liberally employed as shifters of public space.
Is this “random access”, anonymity, and compression of time and space, not so dissimilar to the structuring of our parallel
“virtual world”? Is a strange loop being formed in the relation between the physical and cyber worlds, in which one must
cancel the other out infinitely; or will the loop be a perpetuation of stasis, which prolongs the current economy and
divisions of wealth? These questions are also tackled analogically in the remaining work from this series. 21

25. Scott Kildall
I work at the intersection of media culture and human memory. My artwork depicts collapse: between
producer and consumer, viewer and viewed and simulated and real. I appropriate material, bend rules of
consent, restage events and invite viewers to alter my exhibited pieces. These acts and products reflect
a shift in cultural production — where ownership dips into a zone of ambiguity and image and sound
is widely recycled.
I use video, installation, prints, sculpture and performance to express desires for connection through
a changing media landscape. In a recent project, I approached people at public events and asked them
for a photograph. Instead, I took video. From these hundreds of clips, I compiled a 40-minute edit of
strangers waiting in anticipation and smiling towards the unknown.
Lately, I have been using Second Life — an online world with simulated physical space — as a site for
artistic inquiry. Here, I remediate iconic performances and realize “imaginary objects” as paper sculptures.
Traditional and new media collide then recombine into a hybrid form. The notion of the original form
sinks in wake of these acts. My work reveals how humans express emotions in this new topography.

Energy fields of pattern formed by frequency waves in nature is the essence of my current
body of work; The Grey-tones.
For the last eight years my visual exploration as an abstract painter has been the rich
history of ornamental design in many cultures and epochs and the spiritual experience of
making and being engrossed in opulent symmetry. The aesthetics of harmonious design
and exigent vibrations stimulates physiological and formal seduction of the viewer.
The Grey-tones are inspired by the notion that sound vibrations in nature create pattern
formations that are reminiscent of specific elements of design. I conduct virtual labs using
sound/substance algorithms. The results inform the Grey-tone paintings.
Recently color is given some allowance after maintaining a strict constraint of black and
white for nearly two years. Red corresponds to the music note C, planet mars, the first
chakra, the element fire and my checkbook. A recent study revealed that stars hum
middle C before death. Perhaps the presence of red in this work is a sign of its
transformative state.

Lorraine Peltz’s recent paintings articulate fresh ideas about place and identity, presenting evocative and highly
charged images that explore women’s fantasies and desires. By combining various painting languages including
recognizable imagery, signs and symbols, and painterly abstraction, Peltz attempts to mimic and reconcile how
information comes to us and how meaning is made, bit by bit -- real life alongside memory, poetry next to prose.
These become landscapes of both the exterior world and an interior space of dream, desire, hope, and memory.
Her images of chandeliers, plums, pears, and cupcakes, playfully co-mingle the language of 17th century-esque still
life objects with a pop imagery of lightening bolts, puffy clouds, painted lips, rainbows, strolling legs, swans, ominous
blackbirds, and more.
As Lisa Wainwright, Dean at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and Professor of Art History, wrote in 2006,
“here are worlds aqueous and cosmic, airy and verdant. These paintings glow with uncanny resonance and optical
sheen. And then Peltz interrupts the dreaminess to cast a range of signs into ethereal spaces. Myriad symbols in
their speech bubble niches hint at a narrative that unfolds from picture to picture. Both of nature and from culture,
her icons speak to the polemic between essentialism and social construction that still grips feminist discourse...the
mix of aesthetic delight and conceptual reading makes.... (this) Peltz’s strongest (work) to date”
Lorraine Peltz was born in Brooklyn, NY and received her MFA from the University of Chicago and her BFA from
the State University of New York at New Paltz. She has had numerous one person shows and been included in
many group exhibitions including at the Hyde Park Art Center in Chicago, Galerie Piltzer in Paris, Arden Gallery
in Boston, Olga Dollar Gallery in San Francisco, Carrie Secrist Gallery in Chicago, Koscielak Gallery in Chicago,
Printworks Gallery in Chicago, the Rockford Art Museum, the Renaissance Society in Chicago, the Herbert Johnson
Museum at Cornell University, and many others. The exhibition “Excellent Hostess” Selected Paintings: 1995-2008,
with an accompanying catalogue, will take place in July at The Center for Fine and Performing Arts, Munster, IN,
and exhibitions are planned at the Elmhurst Art Museum, Elmhurst, IL, at the Cheryl McGinnis Gallery, NYC, the
Betty Rymer Gallery, School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago, IL and in Verona, Italy. Peltz lives and works
in Chicago and teaches at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

enlightenment is like the moon reflected on water, 2008
video

37. Tobias Tovera
In my artwork, I am interested in discovering transmuted spaces, places where energy shifts, changes,
or renews itself. Through an exploration of the interstices between opposing elements, such as nature
and artifice or chaos and order, I wish to explore entropic systems where healing may occur. I want my
audience to be left with question and confronted by a raw sense of what it means to be human.
My work currently explores paint as a sculptural object in which the process of the medium diffuses
into the surface. I create compositions of entropic verdigris that conjure layered textures of color and
space. Though I begin with a color that embodies an elemental archetype, these ‘Life Forms’ unfold
in a natural rhythm of their own; each layer becoming a kind of topography upon which time can be
re-experienced. This process serves to create work that is constantly evolving, allowing me to create
work that I feel is palpable yet ethereal. By incorporating and encouraging random developments in my
practice, I seek to restrain intent thus allowing a more spiritual aspect to enter my work.

My work focuses on loss, temporality, fragmentation and fragility. I am interested in using existing sites such as
architecture and memory as markers for events. The work is a placeholder, or a witness, to the event. I want
to capture the fragility of these sites before they disappear from my mind.
I use video, drawing and sculpture (culminating in installation) as a repository for my memory. Memories often
cleave to the physical settings of events. The scars on landscape preserve the memory of the site long after
the people are gone, making architecture and landscape an unprejudiced witness to an event. I use these
mediums as a way to capture the invisible, a memory, an architectural structure that no longer exists, or
an overwhelming feeling triggered by a site. By asking the viewer what one needs to forget in order to
remember, I hope to trigger and reverberate a memory in the viewer’s mind.

print, plexi galss, 30” x 22.5”

45. David Yun
David Yun grew up the son of Chinese immigrants in Livonia, Michigan, a suburb of Detroit that holds the title as “The
Whitest Large City in the United States.” He is currently an MFA student studying film at the San Francisco Art Institute
(SFAI). Yun’s work, which has been shown internationally, spans a variety of mediums including film/video, photography,
social practice and installation. His films have screened as part of numerous film festivals including the International
Documentary Festival Amsterdam (IDFA), European Media Arts Festival, New York International Asian American Film
Festival, and Documenta Madrid. He is the recent recipient of a Murphy and Cadogan Fellowship, awarded annually by
the San Francisco Foundation to the most promising Fine Arts Graduate Students in the Bay Area.
Digital Scratch Films
In this series of short videos, David Yun explores the aesthetic possibilities of digital video by incorporating elements of
the scratch film into his practice. Starting from the techniques and aesthetics that experimental filmmakers such as Stan
Brakhage and Carolee Schneemann applied to 16mm film, these works invitee us to think about video making in a similar
frame-by-frame manner in which the lines between reality and reproduction are blurred. In this series, Yun begins his
pursuit of perfecting “digital scratching” techniques by manipulating original and found video in software such as Photoshop
and Final Cut Pro to produce works that aim to visually stimulate while recalling memory, emotion and sensation.
Hug
2007, 1:28
Hug was Yun’s first attempt at creating a digital scratch film. Many elements of the typical scratch film, the variations in
speed, saturated colors, and use of evocative audio were developed in the creation of this work, which depicts a woman
running towards the camera culminating in a hug exchanged with a subject standing at the foreground of the frame. The
result is a work that turns this seemingly simple gesture into something larger.
Waves
2007, 1:21
The second video in the series, Waves relies on the natural rhythms of the ocean to provide the energy that propels the
work forward. Footage shot at San Francisco’s Ocean Beach is transformed through Yun’s digital scratching techniques
into a kaleidoscope of ebbs and flows. Building of the techniques developed in Hug, Yun incorporated a new technique
in this video—layering. These layers combine to create a whirling effect by depicting motion playing a various speeds in
multiple directions simultaneously. This effect culminates in an explosion of colors, textures and sounds that transport
the viewer to another mental state. 45
