Press response to Creative Time's
Art in the Anchorage, 2001:

MASSLESS MEDIUM: EXPLORATIONS IN SENSORY IMMERSION

"This is the most ambitious show Creative Time has organized in the 18 summers at the Anchorage. An unusually coherent selection of work that uses lighting, video, computer or sounds systems, often in combination, it also takes full advantage of the Anchorage's dark Piranesian interior. However briefly, nearly everything bedazzles or overwhelms." This exhibition "suggests that the mediums on view are leaving the masses behind."
Roberta Smith, The New York Times

"Art that hopes to offer sensory immersion often seems out of place in a museum or gallery." "Maybe that's why the group show Massless Medium is so alluring: The six liminal electronic installations resonate in the psychic field generated by the Brooklyn Bridge's countless tons of 19th century masonry." Massless Medium distills "information usually lost in the clamor of everyday life but found here again, in one of the old city's lost spaces."
Kevin Pratt, Time Out New York

"It’s hard to believe that the [Anchorage] had previously housed farmers markets and municipal storage for old tires. Creative Time, however, has surely put the space to better use with Massless Medium."
Rachel Egenhoefer, Artbyte Magazine
