At Any Given Moment, River and Fall is a video art installation consisting of three recent works from Méndez’s ongoing series At Any Given Moment. The three works on view are At Any Given Moment, River #1; At Any Given Moment, River #2; and At Any Given Moment, Fall #1. On view from June 18–July 4, 2009 at MINOTTI, 8936 Beverly Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90048. www.minotti-la.com.
These works explore issues of perception, specifically our relationship to technologically mediated nature. In At Any Given Moment, River and Fall, the repetitive rhythm, tight cropping, and large-scale image emphasize the work’s particular organizational logic in time and space.

Méndez in group exhibition ‘Scalable Relations’ at the Beall Center for Art and Technology, at UC Irvine. Curated by Christiane Paul, curator at the Whitney Museum of American Art. ‘Scalable Relations’ is an exhibition by faculty members of the University of California Digital Arts Research Network ( UCDARnet ). The exhibition brings together works that explore digital media’s capability of representing a growing amount of data in constantly evolving relations. Addressing a range of issues—from the construction of visual worlds to self-representation and socio-cultural and political issues—the projects in ‘Scalable Relations’ illustrate the complexities and shifting contexts of today’s information society.
