Neural Architecture no. 5
June 26 - September 4
This is the fifth installation in a series by Deborah Aschheim, which considers the increasing unification of artificial biological forms with buildings. Her works conjure up a fragile new organism, a hybrid of surveillance electronics, neural sensing and architecture that emerges out of our post-September 11 ambivalence toward security and technology.

Blood red tubing grows out of the Armory’s windows, outlining the branches of the trees in front of the building and lighting up when pedestrians walk by. The installation snakes into the Armory's lobby, seeding the space with artificial "cell clusters,” allowing viewers to witness the interactions between humans, trees and the luminous tubing outside. On view in the lobby and outside.
