Ganis, "Archival to Contemporary: Six Decades of the Sculptors Guild" (2006), Sculpture, 25(7):71-2. "Though the installation [of the entire exhibit] was quite dense, several pieces stood out for their conceptual and formal quality. ... Adam Brown's light and sound installation Bion (2005) was skillfully integrated into a separate architectural environment so that it could be seen glowing from afar, delighting the senses in an immersive encounter with its 1000 artificially intelligent elements." Art review: James D. Watts, Jr. "Exhibit Explores Electronics, Artificial Intelligence" (2006) Tulsa World, Thursday, Sept 7. "Art and science come together with a touch of mystery and whimsy in 'Bion' ..." |
