For "Insula," multimedia artist Darcy Dahl presents a series of kinetic animations projected onto drawings that begin with the human figure. Seeing the form involves being in a state of emotional and mental engagement - layering several form studies upon one another.

The exhibition takes its title from the limbic part of the brain that involves translating objective physiological states into subjective emotional experiences. On display twenty-four hours a day, where the installation can be viewed from the street outside the gallery, the shifting illumination of forms presents a visual experience that is constantly in flux.

In 2004, after 15 years in the broadcast video field, Darcy turned his office into a studio, moved to the South Bronx and returned to painting full time (having studied painting and computer/interactive arts at University of Minnesota and Minneapolis College of art and Design). Since then he has been in several group shows and solo shows in New York City. He is now utilizing his years spent doing commercial video and studies of human figure in a process culminating in visceral expression on paper, canvas, video and installation in a circuitous process where finished "product" settles only briefly before being agitated by the process of maintenance of observing the infinite singularity.
