Bitforms posted a video "Daniel Canogar, "Billow," virtual walkthrough with Steven Sacks" on VIMEO

Our IG Live walkthrough for, "Billow," with artist Daniel Canogar and bitforms gallery Founder/Director Steven Sacks. Originally recorded in April, 2020..."Billow" consists of six sculptural LED screens that depict abstract animations developed with data from real-time Google Trends. Colors within the animation are determined by how "hot" or popular a specific topic becomes; the more viral the search is online, the warmer the tones become. Popular queries from each day appear momentarily as overlaid text before dissolving into a smoky abstraction. Their lingering forms generate illusions of interlaced imagery...This series continues the artist's interest in the similitude between screens and textiles. Canogar plays with the idea of threads and knotted string by exposing electric data cables underneath the LED panels. Another defining element of the artist's recent work is the curving, architectural intersections of his sculptures. Rolling silhouettes of technological streams emulate the natural world of rivers, hills, and valleys. Canogar presents sculptures of the incorporeal electronic realm in the hopes of better understanding the ebb and flow of our digital times.
