Swift gallery is honored to present “Static Room” by San Francisco’s audio / video artist Scott Arford. Static Room is an ongoing series of performances and installations for sound and projection that merges the audio and visual environments. Tones and abstract color fields break down into vibrating sheets of interlaced flickering and shredding static, the abstract projections and resultant sounds make it possible to hear the buzzing images and see the flickering sounds. As one of the leading figures of the new media arts, Scott Arford most recently premiered solo works at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and has presented works throughout Europe, Japan, and South America. This is the first installment of “Static Room” in Los Angeles.
