Suite 100 Gallery is excited to announce a group show dedicated to the fine art of circuit bending. Each featured artist uses a unique approach to explore and express through this medium, a popular underground movement.

Reclaim is a fully hands-on show, which strives to bring this marginalized form into the light of fine arts. The show will feature a wall-sized interactive installation by Michael Robson, the detailed circuit drawings of K. E. Alexander Jr., and smaller inventive instruments by Christopher Olsen.

Circuit bending is a contemporary electronic-based art that implements experimental audio short-circuiting. This rebellious hobby represents the birth of the new age of experimental musical forms and the phenomenon of breaking the music industry down into the ever-growing independent home studio.

Each artist exhibited contributes to the show’s larger conversation. Through exploring the aesthetic beauty and possibilities of circuitry, a dialogue is formed that is synonymous with our generation.s attempts to digest the evolving flux of technology. Reclaim is just one of those attempts, releasing the underground world of circuit-bending into the art community.s daily dialogue, and hopefully validating the ever-growing number of curious “benders.”

Update! To hear what Michael Robson has to say about himself and his work as a circuit bender, check out our interview with him.
