3/29/2007 SCAD-Atlanta presents “Transient Passages,” an exhibition by multimedia artist Peter Horvath March 29–May 4 at the Atlanta College of Art Gallery of SCAD, located inside the Woodruff Arts Center, 1280 Peachtree St. An opening reception will be held March 29, 6–8 p.m. This exhibition is free and open to the public.  Horvath’s exhibition is a retrospective of cinematic DVD and Internet-based video, which features four different pieces, including the premiere of “Boulevard,” a DVD installation. Horvath works with video, sound, photo and new media. He picked up a camera at age six, and spent years working in the darkroom perfecting his craft. In his late 20s, Horvath began exploring new art forms found in digital technologies at the birth of the Web, and adopted the techniques of photomontage that he uses in his Web and print-based works. “Formally, I see myself as a participant and investigator in the realm of new media art as it exists on the Web,” said Horvath. “The Web mirrors the process of choice-making by which we navigate our environments, making it an ideal medium to discuss issues related to the realm of subjective experience.” Horvath also is a co-founder of www.6168.org, a site for Internet art. Horvath’s browser-based exhibitions have appeared at the Whitney Museum of American Art’s artport, the 18th Stuttgarter Filmwinter festival in Stuttgart, Germany, FILE Electronic Language International Festival in Sao Paulo, Brazil, as well as venues in New York, Tokyo, London and numerous Internet art showings. He is the recipient of commissions from Rhizome.org at The New Museum in New York City (2005) and Turbulence.org New Radio and Performing Arts in Boston (2004).
