In mathematics, especially in geometry and topology, an ambient space is the space surrounding a mathematical object. For example, a line may be studied in isolation, or it may be studied as an object in two-dimensional space — in which case the ambient space is the plane, or as an object in three-dimensional space — in which case the ambient space is three-dimensional. To see why this makes a difference, consider the statement “Lines that never meet are necessarily parallel.” This is true if the ambient space is two-dimensional, but false if the ambient space is three-dimensional, because in the latter case the lines could be skew lines, rather than parallel.

Artworks commissioned for Todays Art 2007, curated by Maxalot. Project consisted of two commissioned works. One was a static image project, created in collaboration with Michael Cina. The second work was an seven minute video projected onto the building created exclusive for this event. All projections were onto Richard Meyer’s City Council Building in The Hague, Netherlands.

Artwork exhibited in Madrid, Spain at Madinspain’s Psicotipografia on September 21-22, 2007. Final artwork created in collaboration with Michael Cina. Final artwork was printed into a massive 150×100 (centimeters) print. Curated by Wenceslao Sanz Alonso.

Artwork created for the ‘Todaysart 2006′ exhibit on Richard Meyer’s City Council Building in The Hague, Netherlands on September 23-24 2006. This part of the event was produced and organized by our good friends at Maxalot. Created in collaboration with Michael Cina.

ACT6: Then God said, “Let the earth be filled with living creatures.” So He made the animals on the earth, the cattle, and every thing that crawls upon the earth – all producing after their kinds; and God saw that it was good. Soundtrack by Michael Cina. Originally created as live audio/video performance at Flash in the Can, Toronto.

Neither liberal nor conservative, we are just ourselves. This print was created to document the many sides of the country. Everything from Enron, Imperialism, Burgers, Pro-Choice, Osama, Suvs and Nazis. Final artwork created in collaboration with Michael Cina for the Poster Offensive 2 exhibit (Minneapolis, MN).

Curator Maxalot asked us to create original works for our first ever solo exhibition, WorkFromThem. Printed on Duratrans, using state-of-the-art photographic printing equipment of Durst (Lambda) which is then silicon-glued onto a 4mm metacrylate plate. The frame consists of 8x4cm pine wooden beams “au naturel”, and houses two 30W tube lights. When switched on the light-box gives an excellent chance to study the highly detailed graphics of these creatives. Switched off the art is just as presentable and visible, having a beautiful wooden frame and rich look and feel of the glass-like plate. Created in collaboration with Michael Cina.

Michael Young’s online project Designgraphik featured in the Tecnogeist Festival. Work apart of the Skip Intro-Replay exhibit (Mexico City, Mexico)
