Night Vision presents artists who are influenced by technologies
developed by the military, government intelligence agencies, and
NASA for use in research, surveillance and combat. The title of
the exhibition is taken from the high-tech optical apparatus used
in nocturnal military operations, whose green glow has become
familiar to television viewers. Some of the artists in this
exhibition co-opt these technological advancements while others
examine public perception of them as revealed by film, television
and news media in order to explore the various murky implications
surrounding their uses.

Participating artists:
Jordan Crandall | Christoph Draeger | Joy Garnett
Adam Hurwitz | Bill Jones + Ben Neill | John Klima
Joseph Nechvatal | Jonathan Podwil | Radical Software Group

Night Vision first opened at the University Galleries at Illinois
State University, and will travel to g-module in Paris in 2003. It
is accompanied by a 16 page color exhibition catalogue with essay by
Tim Griffin, art editor of Time Out New York. The catalogue is
available at White Columns, Dia Bookstore, Printed Matter, The New
Museum Bookstore, St. Mark's Books and Amazon.com.
