<div style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Please join me for a performative lecture and discussion concerning my neon wall sculpture, <em>Confronting the Statisticon</em>, 2015-2017, Monday, December 5th at 7 p.m. at Industrial City, 900 Third Avenue in Brooklyn. The work is part of the exhibition Singing in Unison, curated by Phong Bui. Thyrza Goodeve, Sanford Kwinter, and Barry Schwabsky will join me. See below.</span></div>

<div style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Warren Neidich’s text-based neon sculpture <em>The Statisticon Neon</em> will be the subject of a conversation between Thyrza Goodeve, Sanford Kwinter, and Barry Schwabsky. The Statisticon was a term Neidich invented in 2015 to describe a new form of power resulting from the entanglement of mental labor, Big Data, and the brain’s neural plasticity. He will update this performance to consider its importance to Deep Ecology and the development of eco-centric technologies as a means of escape from the traumas inflicted by the Anthropocene. The event will begin with a short blindfolded performance of the sculpture by Neidich followed by ten-minute comments by each respondent. Subjects ranging from the political power of art, poetry and architecture, neural plasticity, ecology, psychedelic drugs, the Internet of Everything, and Big Data will be discussed in the hope of creating a language of resistance to our current neural-digital predicament.</span></div>
