In addition to two short performances, The Wave and Failure & Ambience (Friday night,) Dina Kelberman will give a talk with Q&A about her ongoing project I’m Google, 2011-now (Friday day.) Started in 2011 on a lark, I'm Google is a visual stream-of-consciousness image and video collection that has now spanned over a decade. It has been written about in The New York Times Magazine, Art 21, and NPR, in essays by Teju Cole, Kenneth Goldsmith and Olia Lilalina and included in numerous art history books and textbooks.
Dina Kelberman’s work is a unique intersection of curation, observation, and playful engagement with the mundane. Through her exploration of digital and everyday materials, she recontextualizes the familiar, highlighting the beauty in the often overlooked. Kelberman’s accumulation projects, such as her best-known work, I’m Google, demonstrate an almost obsessive attention to patterns in the world, connecting seemingly unrelated images into a stream of visual associations. Her approach blurs the lines between art and curation, inviting the audience to reflect on the randomness and interconnectedness of daily life and the digital sphere. She has produced large-scale commissioned pieces for the New Museum, Marina Abramovic Institute and Fotomuseum Winterthur and exhibits internationally She is currently ranked 9th in the world for Most Lines in Tetris for the NES.
