Eyebeam is pleased to present Weight of Fall (Waltz), a site-specific video installation created by Zerek Kempf for the Eyebeam window gallery. Please join us for an opening reception on Thursday, March 4, 6 – 8PM. The work will be on view March 4 – 27. Installed in a street-level window, Kempf’s Weight of Fall (Waltz) erects obscuring materials that directly abut the glass: plywood, curtains, and styrofoam refuse viewing access to the space beyond the window. Kempf addresses the window’s four panels as individual units, splicing them together with a sculptural syntax that extends the logic, tricks, and techniques of film editing into the physical space of the installation.

A 10-year Retrospective of Programming, Eyebeam Style
Since 1997, artists, programmers, hackers, activists, technologists, kids and adults have come to Eyebeam to share ideas, find collaborators, experiment with new tools and create new work. The projects in Source Code – the first of three exhibitions presenting the very best of creative exploration at Eyebeam – frame technologies, generate new processes and offer the audience a platform to contemplate the impact of technology on everyday life.
This exhibition marks the organization’s unique role in supporting artists experimenting with or critically examining the impact of new technologies in cultural production. The institution’s multiple channels of support include artist residencies, yearlong fellowships and commissions.

Recipes for an Encounter functions as a literary extension to the 2008 group exhibition "Kits for an Encounter" at Vancouver's Western Front, which consisted of work that actively engages the viewer by providing the necessary components for instigating or troubling the notion of an encounter. This collection of texts, diagrams, and illustrations provides further "how-to" instruction for relational projects in the manner of a recipe book.
