Bringing together experimental videos and digital photographs by four artists working in the Middle Tennessee region, \u201cPattern Recognition\u201d explores the expressive potential of digital media.<\/p>\n

In animated landscapes, geometrical compositions and other invented scenarios, the videos show natural and computer-generated patterns that weave, ripple and flow in alluring ways.<\/p>\n

In their experimental works, Fahnestock, along with artists Morgan Higby-Flowers, Joon Sung and John Warren, manipulate viewers\u2019 sense of time and space and resist traditional notions of linear storytelling. Each artist employs slow pacing, fluid transitions between recognizable and abstract imagery and sound to induce feelings of reverie, pleasure and mystery.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe title \u2018Pattern Recognition\u2019 alludes to a computer science term for the identification and organization of patterns, combining data from across the information spectrum,\u201d says Frist Center Chief Curator Mark Scala. \u201cWhile in technology, the goal is to gain hard knowledge of the complex behavior of linked systems, artists in this exhibition combine and manipulate information into irrational patterns that bring to mind themes of memory, mystery and disturbance.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fahnestock finds personal resonance in the symbolism of the ocean, its rhythms and continuity, its role in family history and its powerful hold on the collective imagination. Her \u201cReclamation\u201d series was inspired by the family lore surrounding her grandfather, a sea captain who collected natural specimens and cultural artifacts for the American Museum of Natural History. His ship sank off the coast of Australia in 1940, inspiring Fahnestock more than 60 years later to research his life and the circumstances of the shipwreck. Becoming fascinated with the poetry and allure of the ocean, she began a series of videos and photographs in which its wave patterns are photoshopped onto the silhouettes of sinking ships, distorting the image of a solid ship into a marker of transition\u2014a mirror in space and a hole in time\u2014rather than a form being reclaimed by the sea it was meant to defy.<\/p>\n
