  • Sheryl Oring’s I Wish to Say

    I Wish That I Had Spoken Only of It All

    DiMattio Gallery at Rechnitz Hall +1 more

    With backgrounds in journalism and fine art, Sheryl Oring began her ongoing project I Wish to Say in 2004 from a concern that many people’s voices were not being heard. She started to take dictation from the public about what they wanted to say to the (next) President. Dressed as a 1960s secretary with a typewriter, she records whatever participants say onto a postcard, making copies with carbon paper. During larger events, a secretarial bank takes dictation. Oring mails the postcards to the White House and exhibits copies. To date she has mailed over 4100 postcards. In this artist talk, Oring will discuss I Wish to Say, now in its 20th year, alongside her other socially practice art projects.

  • Mike Richison, Electo Electro

    Mike Richison, Electo Electro 2024

    Rotary Ice House Gallery

    Monmouth University’s Prof. Mike Richison (Graphic Design) will perform his Electo Electro 2024, updated for the 2024 election cycle. This interactive installation combines audience participation, music, news footage, and politics. The project allows participants to remix videos from political rallies, debates, and news in a structured sixteen beat loop. The touchscreen design is a parody of the system employed by the Accuvote, a voting system that is difficult to audit and susceptible to hacking. The parody continues into the format of the installation itself which will resemble a polling station.
