      My statement  
    With this profile I would like to promote a specific project: divination 2.0.

    http://rhizome.org/announce/view/55059
    On Friday April 23rd, 8pm will be an opening in celebration of a project called divination 2.0 at 58 North 6th Media Labs, Brooklyn. The project has been an exercise in bringing the emergent experience of our social/computerized self to a precise space, utilizing an architectural sense with video and sound, including Items like screws, wires, and other small parts.

    Upon entering Divination2.0, one sees a glowing round mandala that makes visible and frames commonplace words associated with computers. At the touch of movement in the mandala, people are invited in to meditate in stillness. After calmness is sensed by the computer, people can then enter an on-the-spot-created password to find out what Divination2.0 will respond with. This program uniquely utilizes a Google-generated image response as well as recent sociology research on the changing relationship between technology users and culture to treat each participant to his or her unique reading.

      Professional history  
    Pinatas, animal costumes, and sight-specific-demonstration-videos are some tools Emily uses to create humorous and irreverent conceptual art. With an eye towards metaphor, her interest in patterns and people is expressed with simple imagery, performances, large-scale-community-projects, sculptures, and short-films; a mix of material that is dipped in a pot of politics, technology, and ephemerality. She does ensemble-style collaborations with artists from multiple disciplines, partaking in the emergent creative process of group art-making, and is currently flocking and herding her way through Brooklyn College's PIMA MFA program, serving as an Outreach and Development Intern at Eyebeam, and completing her thesis, divination 2.0.
