[Nita Yack]

> FADEOUT - A collaboration between the artist Granite Amit and statistician and computer scientist Yali Amit.
> Opening Reception, Friday October 21, 6 – 8 pm
> Gordon Center for Integrated Science, 3rd floor Atrium, 939 East 57th street

> 
> Composed of large-scale digital prints on translucent fabrics and a video of natural interaction animation program.
>  Different experiences of fadeout are explored from the physical, emotional, cognitive and visual perspectives. The loss of a loved one, the loss of memories, changes in transparency, changes in scale or gradual decomposition into elements.
>  
> The animation program is based on 'natural interaction': tracking body motion to affect computer output - in this case: text animation, revealing the performer's role as the 'real activator' and the force behind the dynamics, the appearance and the disappearance of the words. As objects decompose to constituent parts and fade out, different layers of meaning unfold.
