New Work

Julia Scher’s most recent installation piece, Predictive Engineering², is based on a previous installation featured in the 1993 exhibition Thresholds and Enclosures presented in SFMOMA’s former location. Organized by SFMOMA curator of media arts Robert R. Riley, the current installation recreates the ambiance of image, audio, and spoken word narrative of the original interactive surveillance piece, but advances the artwork using sophisticated computer-controlled retrieval devices and on-site cameras to emphasize and further articulate the Museum building observed as a real-time surveillance event.
