“Like an Ocean gyre, a vortex of artifacts of a consumption based contemporary society such as;  plastic bottles and bags, fishing nets, and helium balloons become en-snarled with driftwood, dead coral, and seaweed creating a grotesques amalgamation of disparate materials which remarkably can still harbor life and be a sculptural framework for life to grow. I aim to develop work that embodies this contemporary conundrum.” [dNASAb]

Drone's eye view of the studio of [dNASAb].


Drone's eye view of the studio of [dNASAb].
Film + Text by Justin Namon @whofpv

"I had the opportunity to meet [dNASAb] +Desiree after they relocated his studio of 20 years in Brooklyn, NY to South Florida. Instigated by a need be closer to the "ecosystems" that inform [dNASAb]'s work, to "flip the script" on the dingy over-priced warehouse studio rentals, and turn a mid-century modern home into an immersive art house studio+showroom. He's a creative artist who uses mixed mediums to convey the juxtaposition of nature and industrialism echoing a discord in the social acceptance of plastic culture. You will find reclaimed plastic and styro-foam transformed into "living sculptures" and "video ecosystems" that are otherworldly and natural at the same time. Video projection mapping and multi-channel audio enliven the pieces, and highlight an environmental crisis we are dealing with in real-time.What a collection and unique way to explore ideas concerning the intersection of art, technnology and environmentalism. I decided not to apply any speed ups to emphasize the size of this space and the path chosen to show it. Cant wait to see his new space in Wynwood!"

"Aquascaping PARASPACE" screens on a 27 screen video wall October 5 – October 30, 2015

PARASPACE
"the condition of hyperspace [that] is itself insane"
- Barry Malzberg, Galaxies

"Aquascaping PARASPACE, Video re-contextualization of the living marine reef ecosystem" on the 27 screen video wall at IFP by [dNASAb] 2015

October 5 – October 30, 2015
Made in NY Media Center by IFP - 30 John Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201

  This exhibition explores ways in which contemporary artists using digital tools address cyberspace, body, and nature in the post internet time. The selected artists use animation, 3D computer graphics, video, and glitches to model virtually simulated scenes out of the detritus of internet and consumer culture. Paraspace  presents an imploded realm where the ontological status of subject and landscape is opened to question and position for redefinition.Curated by Andrea Wolf and CHiKA.
