Erin Garber-Pearson presents "Presently Decoding," the candy cell phone project.

Cellular phones mark a rapid change in technology that can be mapped out in less than one lifetime – a new language has been developed and is in constant alteration. This dialect is fragmented from larger social contexts and conditions that give it meaning and value. The immediacy of this form of exchange began as a tool and now has reached far into our psyche, often distancing us from the patience required to deeply investigate the world we live in.  

"Presently Decoding" combines the experience of public performance into a humorous and playful multimedia installation. Viewers are invited to participate; sharing in an awareness of the role technology has taken in our relationship to the material world.

Gallery hours are Monday through Friday, 9 a.m.-5 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday, 12-4 p.m.

The Joseph Gross and Lionel Rombach Galleries are located on the  University of Arizona campus between the Museum of Art  and the Center for Creative Photography. Parking is available on Second Street, east of Park Avenue or in the parking garage north of Speedway on Park Avenue.
