Algorithmia: An exhibition about problem solving.

http://rootdivision.org/031409.html

"Just as the algorithms of nature constantly work in flux to solve and
create problems, so does the human use of algorithmic processes
towards advancement. The science fictions of yesterday are rapidly
becoming the realities that shape our everyday. From iPods shuffling
our favorite songs and videos, to web applications that allow us to do
everything remotely online, to the “smart bombs” that target enemies
of the corporate world, we are surrounded by the good, the bad, and
the ugly sides of computational progress. Algorithmia consists of both
physical and web-based work, presenting diverse procedures for problem
solving, and explores the ways these methods, in turn, program us."

Reception: Saturday, March 14th, 7 - 10 pm
 Sliding Scale Suggested Donation: $2-$20

 Exhibition Dates: March 11-28, 2009
 Gallery Hours:Wednesdays- Saturdays, 12-4 pm (or by appointment)
