DUMBO Arts Center says…

The pair collaborates à la a game of Exquisite Corpse, aware of the other's involvement but blind to specific compositional details, building their installation in much the same way as strangers living in proximity build their cities in unknowing tandem. And it is precisely this unpredictable urban jumble of flesh and concrete that the pair both celebrates and transcends in PIXELVILLE. A combination of biota-based sculptural elements by Alroy mingle with digital projections by Shor to create a microcosm of the future city — no longer a physical location, the "city" has become a state of mind, a pattern of fluctuating energy that has taken on an increasingly metaphorical existence with the advent of digital media.
