Jennifer and Kevin McCoy (http://www.mccoyspace.com) discuss their works in the realm of ‘database cinema,’ such as their installations “Every Shot, Every Episode” and “Every Anvil,” and their web-based “201 - A Space Algorithm.”

Jennifer and Kevin McCoy are Brooklyn-based artists who make projects about how human thinking is structured through genre and repetition. In order to focus attention on these structures, they often reexamine classic works of science fiction or television narrative, creating sculptural objects, net art, or live events from what they find.

In New York City, their work has been exhibited at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, P.S.1, Postmasters Gallery, The New Museum, and Smack Mellon. International exhibitions include projects at ZKM, The Cornerhouse Gallery (Manchester, UK), and Van Laere Gallery (Antwerp, Belgium) and an upcoming show at F.A.C.T. (Liverpool, UK). In 2002 they received a Creative Capital Grant for Emerging Fields and in 2001 they received an award for New Media from the Colbert Foundation. Articles about their work have appeared in Art in America, Artforum, The Wire, dArt International, Spin Magazine, Feed, and The Independent.
