SUMMARY:Mike Richison’s Election Collection: 2004-2024
DESCRIPTION:Mike Richison’s Election Collection: 2004-2020 showcases 20 years of design and video art inspired by the presidential election cycle. Richison began working with this topic in 2004 when he created a short video loop of George W. Bush drinking water during the debates. This evolved into performances and interactive video projects that break down language into musical and abstract elements. \nThe culmination of these explorations is Electo Electro 2024\, an interactive installation that enables participants to produce techno-inspired beats using video clips of presidential candidates. This project combines iMacs\, iPads\, custom software\, and the housing from decommissioned Diebold AccuVote TS voting booths. Users can remix videos from political rallies and debates in a structured sixteen beat loop. An iPad-based touchscreen design parodies the system employed by the AccuVote\, a voting system that was difficult to audit and susceptible to hacking. \nAs a parody\, the format of Richison’s installation resembles a polling station\, while the branding and graphic elements of the project hearken back to vintage electronic devices. The AccuVote debuted in the early 2000s as the poster child of the Help America Vote Act. After its widespread adoption\, a group of researchers discovered a long list of vulnerabilities that can lead to stolen votes\, lost votes\, or a failure of the computer itself. The project deals with expectation\, failure\, and vulnerability \nOn the opening day and throughout the run of the exhibit\, Richison will perform and demonstrate this project. His goal is to “encourage users to examine media and become individuals who can control media\, rather than be controlled by it.” \nThis event is being held in conjuction with ArtNOW’s Mike Richison\, Electo Electro 2024 on October 4 at 10:15 AM.  \nAbout the artist\, Mike Richison: Mike Richison is a multimedia artist and an Associate Professor at Monmouth University\, where he teaches motion graphics. He employs a variety of approaches to artmaking\, including sculpture\, graphic design\, and interactive video. His work utilizes found objects\, such as turntables\, voting booths\, and scavenged video clips as well as the Max MSP Jitter programming environment. Richison has exhibited at Autonomous Cultural Centre Medika (Zagreb\, Croatia); Figment NYC and Art in Odd Places (New York); and Peters Valley School of Craft and Morris Museum (New Jersey). His projects have received attention in outlets such as Leonardo\, VICE\, FACT Magazine\, Hyperallergic\, WABC-TV Channel 7 News New York\, and The Washington Post. Before moving to New Jersey in 2007\, he lived in the Detroit\, MI\, area for several years.
