More scanimations are coming down the pipeline.
I’ll be presenting some of my scanner made animations at BYOB Toronto II at the Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art (MOCCA) on June 8th from 7-10PM. Come!

Some documentation I did for some work in progress by Emily Puthoff, during my recent residency at The Banff Centre
“Eisen follows the radiation trail (metaphorically speaking) left behind by digital imaging, creating photo-based works that resemble the Northern Lights, brainwaves, and the glassy interiors of icebergs.”
- R.M. Vaughan, Globe and Mail
I have some work up with Circuit Gallery at UpArt Contemporary Art Fair
Upcoming Shows:
Leanne Eisen: Scan
Pikto Gallery 55 Mill Street, building 59 - 103, Toronto
November 1 - 16, 2011 Opening Reception: November 4, 6-10 PM
Scan, at Pikto Gallery marks my first ever solo exhibition and foray into new media installation, with my new piece while (true).
while (true), consisting of a scanner, a computer monitor and an flat screen television, will create a real-time animation that will be left running the duration of the two week exhibition, from November 1st - 16th. With each progressive scan, the computer monitor will be updated, then re-scanned, creating a feedback loop. The television will play an animated loop created from the scanned frames updating it in real-time. The exhibition will also include Scan, a series “exploring the aesthetic effects of movement and reflection in a digital technology that renders the material into data. The resulting works resemble ethereal landscapes, floating apparitions or maybe distant galaxies, however the pieces are more than merely finding shapes in the clouds, there is the presence of sheer volumes of space and distance, and the photographic feeling of capturing the image of something living and breathing. The images stimulate more questions than answers, with the viewer unable to come to any concrete conclusions about the works, leaving them in a sublime limbo.” (Zachary Eastwood-Bloom)
New work in progress for while (true) can be seen below.

Work in progress for “while (true)” by Leanne Eisen and Ben Wendt
“while (true)”, consisting of a scanner, a computer monitor and an flat screen television, will create a real-time animation that will be left running the duration of a two week exhibition from November 1st - 16th at Pikto Gallery in Toronto. With each progressive scan, the computer monitor will be updated, then re-scanned, creating a feedback loop. The television will play an animated loop created from the scanned frames updating it in real-time.
I’m pretty thrilled about how tests are going so far.
Come on November 4th to see the finished product at Pikto from Nov 1-16 - but since it’s being created in real-time it will be a fully finished product on Nov 16th. The opening reception is on the 4th regardless. “Hey everybody, check out this unfinished video! Let’s drink wine!”
