netomatheque

Maciej Wisniewski's exhibition - his second at Postmasters - will open on January 12 and will be on view until February 9, 2002. The show will present two network-based multimedia installations, both projecting live data from the Internet and using the netomat software created by Wisniewski and further developed by netomat, inc. Wisniewski is an artist and programmer whose work focuses on the underlying creative and social implications of the Internet, networks, and technology in general. Wisniewski's deep understanding of networks enables him to explore the Internet as a new entity different from any previous carriers of information/communication/expression. Attempts to visualize or comprehend the Internet via familiar metaphors (pages, 3D space, linear progression, etc.) are limiting representations of such a complex new medium. Wisniewski shows that there are other ways to access, interact with, and understand the information on the network. With netomat Wisniewski built his own interface to the Internet.

Maciej Wisniewski (MAH-CHEE VIS-NYEF-SKI) was born in Warsaw, Poland in 1959. He studied toward a Ph.D. program at the Institute for General Linguistics and Computational Linguistics at University of Stockholm, Sweden. He holds an MFA from Hunter College in New York. In addition to The Whitney Museum and SFAI, "netomat" and his other projects "metaView," "Inter-Sections" (1995), "Fetch-a-Sketch," "Tele-Touch," "Jackpot" (1997), "ScanLink" (1998), "Turnstile" I and II (1998) have been featured in online and offline exhibitions at ZKM, Karlsruhe, Germany; Institute of Contemporary Arts, London; Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; Guggenheim Museum, New York; Johannesburg Biennale, South Africa; and 'ada' web. Wisniewski is Founder and Chief Scientist of netomat, inc.
