TangenT is a collaborative dedicated to mixed-media, project-based, immersive art environments exploring socially relevant and politically current themes. TangenT is comprised of artists William Cromar, Yvonne Love, and Gabrielle Russomagno.
709b is a diptych video that takes the viewer on a virtual video voyeur voyage. Originally presented as two simultaneous projections for a DesignPhiladelphia event in Rittenhouse Square during October 2009, the footage has been expanded and sound has been added. It is an artwork that explores identity and place as well as the private and public expressions of daily life. The mask we wear and the identities we project to others are not the ones we use when we think we’re not being seen… an idealization of a more messy reality, not unlike map-making generally. Map-making’s most modern iterations, Google Maps and Google Earth, become for us a metaphor for this human proclivity.
The soundtrack features guitar work by Mike Brenner and public domain found sound, including human body sounds from FindSounds, as well as recordings of so-called “number stations” purportedly used by spy organizations for one-way, coded communication. Tracks of the numbers stations have been compiled at The Conet Project. 709b also stars performance artists Joel Richard Gori (Google Man) and Sasha Tomato (Fire Juggler). Students at Penn State Abington Art Program are assisting with the creation of the Rittenhouse Carpet.
