|||| <b>Back Buffer: New Arena Paintings: Julian Oliver <br>
</b> <br>
<br>
15 February – 30 April 2010<br>
<br>
Gallery Talk 4pm - Julian Oliver talks about his work and the development of the open source painting package <i>ioquake3<br>
</i><br>
Opening reception 12 February 6pm <br>
<br>
Abstract Expressionist painters have long explored strategies for decoupling gestural habit and tendency in their work by means of automatic or chance-based operations. This exhibition by Berlin based artist Julian Oliver represents a new strategy along this vein, deploying a computer game as canvas, paint and brush.<br>
<br>
The exhibition represents a major iteration of Oliver's game-based painting system, <i>ioq3aPaint</i>, a project that began in 2003 in Melbourne, Australia as part of a long career exploring artistic applications for computer game technology. <i>ioq3aPaint</i> is itself a modification of the source code of <i>ioquake3</i>, a free-software first person shooter engine used by thousands of gamers and game developers worldwide. <br>
