SUMMARY:George Legrady: Stardust
DESCRIPTION:  A machine looks\, observes\, and calculates in deep spac
	e. An artist imagines the implications. Stardust is the result.  Edwar
	d Cella Art+Architecture is pleased to announce an exhibition entitled
	\, Stardust\, a limited edition portfolio of works on paper by George 
	Legrady. The portfolio of computationally created visual renderings of
	 celestial objects in space\, based on NASA data\, is the outcome of r
	esearch for the “We Are Stardust” installation concurrently on view in
	 the exhibition entitled Observe at the Alyce de Roulet Williamson Gal
	lery at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena. Created in software 
	that allows for 3- D visualization of the positioning of deep-space ob
	jects in spatial relation to each other\, using the archive of locatio
	ns of celestial bodies studied by NASA scientists through the infra-re
	d Spitzer Orbiting Telescope\, the exhibition opens new and innovative
	 doorways to the subject of astronomy and its implications for humanit
	y with the goal to engage new audiences and forge new perceptions by r
	eaching across the disciplines of art and science. ECAA will exhibit s
	till images from the installation.  Realized in collaboration with the
	 Art Center College of Design and the NASA Spitzer Science Center at C
	alifornia Institute of Technology\, Pasadena\; Stardust considers the 
	physical and spatial relationships of distant stars and the various fo
	rces that bind them. George Legrady contextualizes this vast expanse o
	f information by visualizing its inherent ephemeral nature and profund
	ity.  Known for his ambitious interactive installations and data visua
	lization projects\, Legrady's artwork of the past twenty years has foc
	used on the exploration of complex digital technologies and their pote
	ntials in developing new forms of cultural narratives. Bridging art\, 
	science and technology\, Legrady is recognized for creating experiment
	al installations and computational photographs integrating data mappin
	g and data visualization through systematic categorization and self-or
	ganizing algorithmic processes. His installations have been exhibited 
	at museums throughout the world. His newest project\, Stardust\, seeks
	 to visualize space and time outside the range of what is perceptual u
	tilizing information only recently available due to the innovations in
	 enhanced mechanical vision and computational technological processes.
