Art of Participation Connects Viewers, Artists

Tue, 12/16/2008 - 16:17 — Henrik Bennetsen

Wired magazine has a nice little bit called Art of Participation Connects Viewers, Artists. This is written about our Life Squared project currently on display at SFMOMA:

For Life2 (2006), San Francisco Bay Area artist Lynn Hershman Leeson worked with the Stanford Humanities Lab to create a virtual archive of her historic project The Dante Hotel that can be explored and altered by avatars in Second Life.
Hershman Leeson's historic project, which Life2 revisits, existed in a residence hotel room in San Francisco's North Beach neighborhood. For a period of nine months from 1973 to1974, visitors could get a key from the front desk any time and check in on the fictional occupants.
