In her senior thesis project, recent graduate Reese King Paddock (\u201826 Art<\/a>) made a huge statement, and now she is being honored with the opportunity to see that work displayed on a scale as large as its message\u2019s impact. Her piece titled PLUGWALK was accepted into the \u201cArt Parade,\u201d where it will be co-presented by the distinguished Jeffrey Deitch gallery in Los Angeles, this summer, to celebrate the opening of the new Geffen galleries at LACMA.<\/p>\n

The 11\u2019 x 11\u2019 x 11\u2019 inflatable sculpture (pictured left<\/em>) depicts an infant figure covered in printed circuit board topography, with red stiletto heels and red lips. The work explores the intersection of technology and contemporary human experience, reflecting what Paddock describes as \u201cAlgorithmic Intelligence.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI really wanted PLUGWALK to provoke viewers to think about what intelligence and algorithms actually are,\u201d Paddock said. \u201cMany people view AI as truly intelligent and smart, but AI is simply a mass network of complex algorithms. We’ve been calling it intelligence when really it’s pattern recognition at scale. I think that distinction matters, and PLUGWALK is a physical embodiment of that.\u201d<\/p>\n

She entered her project as a proposal after Professor Micol Hebron (Art)<\/a> informed her of the opportunity in last semester\u2019s Video Art class. Within a week of learning about the opportunity, Paddock submitted her project and was accepted within a few days.<\/p>\n

\u201cBig thank you to Micol Hebron for being tapped into so many opportunities. Micol had briefly described the parade to me, and I knew I had to submit. The timing was just perfect, and the conceptual alignment was so strong,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Now PLUGWALK will crawl down the LA skyline in Downtown LA in June, marking Paddock\u2019s debut in a large-scale public show and the chance for PLUGWALK to be seen by many.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am so grateful to be part of such a historic, community-driven project and to launch my work, especially PLUGWALK, into the public world at this scale,\u201d Paddock said. \u201cThis feels deeply aligned with the direction I have been pushing my practice. It is special that the timing has come together the way it has, and I am excited to see what unfolds from this experience.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
