Spanish artist Daniel Canogar's stunning show tackles the classic theme of man vs machine, using webbed wires as a metaphor for electronic networks. On the first floor, dozens of red, arterial fiber-optic cables gracefully float in space, each tentacle ending in a miniature projection system. The Spider series includes three such sets, which cast images of clothed bodies entangled in wires onto the walls of the darkened gallery. The predicament of these tragic figures, who are both bound and supported by their restraints, manifests the double-edged sword of our information society. Downstairs, Tangle is a techie's nightmare, with its chaotic installation of cables made from electronic waste. Dozens of projected images of tangled wires interact continuously with viewers, who may physically interrupt a projection or jostle a projector, placing their own bodies at the center of Canogar's giant net.
