Art that Iterates
September 4 – 28, 2012
MACY GALLERY
Teachers College Columbia University
Proposition
What is an open art? What is an art that becomes itself as a condition of its being? How can immanence, as a characteristic, be present in a work of art?
The problem is that art usually resolves as a condition of its being. The picture, sculpture, symphony, is — it is this, or that. As such, in the gallery or the concert hall, the exhibited work is complete and passive, awaiting only a viewer.
But in the studio the work becomes.
As artists we approach a kind of blankness, call out to it, fall into it, sometimes tentatively and sometimes passionately, but full of wonder and delight and mystery and agony. As artists this fullness is the condition of art that echoes most profoundly and keeps us longing for…what? What is the object of art’s longing? Can we speak of a longing that is not defined by an end-point? Can the openness of this evolving, not-yet-final condition be sustained?
Maxine Green and John Dewey (among many others) argue that there is a way of knowing that is rooted in openness, an ever-new becoming, an immanent exploration that releases the imagination. As artists we strive after this kind of knowing through our making and re-making. As artists we intuit this way of knowing as a necessary and, perhaps, even an obvious condition of our lives.
But as actors in the world we recognize art’s collapse. That is, again and again we realize that through our very actions we succumb to the worldly insistence that knowing be objectified, and instrumentalized. And we satisfy ourselves with an art that is finished.
Is there a doing that remains undone?
Goal of the Exhibit
My goal with Art that Iterates is to explore openness as a condition of the artist’s way of knowing, making, and doing. I hope the objects you encounter in the gallery will prompt reconsiderations of the artifact itself, and smear the boundaries between viewer/participant, art/non-art, and mediate/immediate.
We are crossing into a new age. We hesitate to leave anything behind—and perhaps we don’t have to—but moving fluently through our times calls for new understandings of learning, thinking, and doing.
I am deeply honored and indebted to all the artists who have so generously given of their time and energy to join me in this exploration. Thank you!

The second iteration of the ASEAN Junior Fellowship Programme (AJFP) with the ASEAN Secretariat was launched today. At the Opening Ceremony, ASEAN Secretary-General Dr Kao Kim Hourn spoke highly of the importance of the youth as building blocks for ASEAN’s Community building endeavours. The AJFP is an initiative born out of Brunei Darussalam’s Chairmanship of ASEAN in 2021 and celebrates the ASEAN youth by expanding regional cooperation through friendly engagement of junior officers of ASEAN Member States whilst increasing their knowledge and effectiveness of work within a multilateral setting like ASEAN.

Another iteration... glutenfree brownies with no eggs or dairy! I like my brownies a little more on the cakey side, so was looking to counter the tendency to be really gummy. I'm really happy with this round, which has enough structural integrity to accommodate about 1 cup of chocolate chips (should you choose to add them!). The are nice and moist, and taste quite chocolately without sticking to the roof of your mouth.
Current Iteration
1842-1862 - U.S. Custom House
1842-1920 - U.S. Sub Treasury
1920-1955 Various government agencies
1955-Present - National Memorial
From the sign:
"In 1842, [Federal Hall] took its proud place in a booming seaport city. The CUSTOM HOUSE was within walking distance of the New World's busiest harbor. Customs duties collected here on imported goods provided most of the government's operating income.
In 1862, when the Custom House moved to larger quarters, the building became a SUB-TREASURY. From this financial stronghold flowed the capital for railroads, telegraph lines, and the development of the American west.
After 1980, the building was used by the FBI, the Passport Office and other government agencies. In 1955 it was designated "Federal Hall National Memorial," part of the National Park system.
This iteration of the U.S.S. Constellation is a sloop that was built in 1854. It was the last "all sail" ship built by the U.S. Navy, and was the largest sloop ever built at that time. It is now a museum in the Inner Harbor in Baltimore, Maryland.
This photo was taken at night with a one second exposure.

Iterations of a function that sorts and apply a logical operation to a binary sequence, added at the end.
Here it is, 10,000 iterations per trajectory, 1.2 billion trajectories, that's 12 trillion iterations :-D. Total CPU time: 5.14 days. This image is also the output of my first ever multithreaded VB code! Nice to have all cores doing 100% and warming up my room for me. I did have a 4 core AMD but one of the cores failed permanently under the strain (it is a B grade cpu, overclocked, so....). So, how about 100,000 iterations? It scales linearly, so this will require 51 CPU days!! Anyone got a 4+GHz octo-core they're not using?? I really need to use my PC in the coming month....
Partitions itératives is a series of performances consisting of composing music with data streams, generally from outer space objects.

Soldiers from the 3rd Squadron, 2d Cavalry Regiment breach an obstacle and clear a trench during the night blank firing iteration of the Squadron's validation exercise at the Bemowo Piskie Trainig Area, Poland, Mar. 24, 2018. These Dragoons will transition into live fire lanes tonight in order to complete the VALEX successfully.
Impactful Iteration Model. Innovation and iteration share some of the same tactics, iteration is generally less divergent and more time sensitive, so it's good to base your decisions on solid data, then look to your users for areas of insight and to gain empathy for their needs. Evaluate your current products, systems and service then start designing experiments you can release and test. Simple lean, data and user driven design.
Last night, one of my first calculus students had his senior photography exhibit at Bradley University. As I left the exhibit, I noticed this building and was inspired to get out my camera. As I started to edit the photo this morning, I began to experiment and came up with ten iterations of the same photo that I hope each evoke a different response.
The lesson that I have learned from this...don't let the way that you look at something get in the way of seeing it.
Please take a moment to look at all ten variations.
