Daniel C. Howe & Bill Seaman exhibit the Architecture of Association, as part of Dans la Nuit, des Images at Grand Palais in Paris.

A large-scale generative installation modelling human associative processes in diverse media, the Architecture of Association (AoA) algorithmically generates and combines fragments of video, text, and sound in real-time via a cluster of networked computers and databases. While a smaller version of the AoA premiered in August at the Museum of Image and Sound in Sao Paulo, Brazil, the installation at the Grand Palais will be the first full-size installation, spanning over 150 sq feet of high-definition monitors.

On the French Culture and Communication Ministry´s initiative, and during the European Season and the French European presidency, Dans la nuit, des images, guided by Le Fresnoy – Studio national des arts contemporains,  will be a celebration dedicated to visual arts.
