Virtual Residency Day Twenty-seven, combining spatial realities
Today I am sorting thru my thoughts about the event yesterday.
As I have been discussing with Hans Tammen, a composer at Harvestworks, NYC, this kind of work accesses an entirely new generation of artists in new ways- and by generation I don’t mean age but technology/blog savvy. Participation requires some comfort with microphones, interrupting an on line thread and making connections between virtual and physical experiences.
Being a woman doing this is also interesting. It is mostly men I'm encountering so far in this brave new world. What is unique about this project is the interface between virtual and physical sites to address ecological issues. What I am seeing so far is that people are comfortable with one or the other: physical sites or virtual reality. Combining them is less familiar, unless, perhaps, you are very young.... or a terrorist.
