DESCRIPTION:ROOT DIVISION PRESENTS: Second Saturday, August 2013\n \nElectronic Pacific 
 Satellite\nIn collaboration with SOMArts Cultural Center\nCurator: Justin 
 Hoover, Curator & Gallery Director, SOMArts  \nSecond Saturday Reception: 
 Saturday, August 10, 7-10 pm\n\nElectronic Pacific is a multi site visual 
 art exhibition exploring trans-oceanic cultural exchange through digital 
 communication and time based media. To facilitate this core idea and 
 continue the location, distance and cultural collisions conversations 
 SOMArts Cultural Center presents a multi-site exhibition in collaboration 
 with Root Division and curated by Justin Hoover. \n\nElectronic Pacific 
 Satellite, will feature the work of local and international artists in the 
 Root Division Gallery. This exhibition serves to facilitate a discussion 
 about location, distance and the resulting cultural collisions at the edge 
 of technologically driven communication around the Pacific Rim. The eleven 
 artists and art collectives use video, installation, and wall pieces to 
 explore issues pertinent to those with multiple identifications and 
 cultural anchors.\n\nWhile geopolitics and nationalistic identities evolved 
 from a terrestrial understanding of cultural communities in relation to 
 defensible land masses and geographical regions, today one could easily 
 redraw new cultural maps, networks of security and avenues of communication 
 due to digital telecommunications and a flat new world.\n\n \nArtists:

 DIVISION:\n\nRoot Division is a visual arts non-profit located in the

 learning opportunities for the community. Artists develop creatively and 
 professionally by teaching art to underserved youth, leading adult 
 education classes, and producing exhibitions that showcase local emerging 
 artwork. By combining multiple opportunities for creative exchange, Root 
 Division cultivates an artistic ecosystem that enriches life throughout the 
 Bay Area. \n\nRoot Division is supported in part by grants from the The
