Gallery SATORI is pleased to present several new found-media works by Jeremiah Teipen in the Project Space. Each consisting of thousands of bits of visual information streamed together. Overlapping and colliding with one another, some of the information amassed in the pieces is useful and some is trash depending on the viewer. According to Teipen, “these pieces take on the whole of the interwebs and are compiled using data from Internet search results that are compounded to create visual orgies in electronic cerebral wastelands.” The conceptual aspect of the work is created inside the viewer’s head, a non-physical idea – dependent on the viewers cognition and ability to make sense of the deluge of information that is being thrust at them. It simultaneously seduces the viewer with its pure visual gluttony, an almost surreal and mesmerizing experience similar to finding patterns in the cloud, both physically and in cyberspace.

Jeremiah Teipen holds an MFA from the School of Visual Arts and a BFA from Columbus College of Art and Design. Teipen has exhibited his work extensively throughout the US, Europe, and Asia at venues like Gallery SATORI, Dean Project, Triple Candy, Number 35, Sixtyseven Gallery, Second Gallery, Visual Arts Gallery, Haskins Laboratory at Yale University, and the Contemporary Art Museum, St. Louis; Mouri Gallery, Albatross Gallery, and Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music, Japan; Gallery Factory and Gwangju City Art Museum, Korea; Circulo De Bellas Artes, Centro de Arte Caja de Burgos, and Museum of Contemporary Art, Malaga, Spain; BananaRam Art Festival, Italy; and Kunsthaus Dresden, Germany
