| A
spirit falls to earth and explores a busy city scene though a "veil
of ignorance" wondering aloud about the physical, commercial
and political elements that we tend to take for granted. This is
an interactive multi-media installation that will be presented at
Intermedia Arts as part of The UnConventional Gathering Place, a
program of The UnConvention. The UnConvention is a series of non-partisan
citywide programs around the theme of participatory democracy through
art, education and journalism leading up to the dates of the Democratic
National Convention (August in Denver) and the Republican National
Convention (September in St. Paul). We are seeking participants who would like to be photographed or have their photo and story included in a 3D interactive video project that is somewhat like a video game projected in the gallery as an installation. We are particularly interested in those who have had compelling experiences exercising their rights and duties of citizenship. Performers and artists are welcome to inquire. Deadline is August 7th. |
