Art show on March 4th @ The Layover, Oakland

I am having an art show at The Layover / DepARTure gallery in downtown Oakland. Opening on March 4th: 1517 Franklin Street  & intersection of 15th street.

HERE IS WHAT TO EXPECT:

This is a participatory event that utilizes data-visualization of various issues, local, national and global, pertaining to the time and place surrounding us. The utility of various data mash-ups creates perspective and new way of looking a issues, meanwhile it is an attempt at making sense of what it is to create social change in a world where we are constantly bombarded with more information than we can process. In opposition to the dominant paradigm that "the truth will set you free" I propose "the truth will give you anxiety and paralysis" This project is an active dialogue between these two ideas with the attempt to provide a forum for people to put forth their own ideas of how they would like to solve problems pertaining to their world.
