THE SHOCK OF THE VIEW:
ARTISTS, AUDIENCES, AND MUSEUMS IN THE DIGITAL AGE
The Walker Art Center, in association with the Davis Museum and
Cultural Center, Wellesley College, the San Jose Museum of Art,
the Wexner Center for the Arts, The Ohio State University, and
Rhizome, has initiated a six-month online project that explores
the similarities and difference between old art practices and new
digital work.
Shock of the View --
http://www.walkerart.org/salons/shockoftheview/ -- begins with
online exhibitions--"object lessons"--that pair works of art or
performances from a museum collection with digital works of art.
Every three weeks new work will be added, organized around the
broad themes of object, space, performance, and the hybrid.
Commentaries by invited curators, artists, educators, and critics
and an ongoing listserv will explore the ways digital media
impacts artists, audiences, and museums. Participants include:
Mark Amerika, Simon Biggs, Kathy Brew, Ken Goldberg, Diane
Gromala, Sandy Stone, and many others.
