ART PROJECT 2023

Art Project 2023 is a third-person narrative told 10 years in the future to report on the fate of a Marcel Breuer-designed building – the former Whitney Museum – after it is acquired by Google in the midst of a global financial crisis. The building is subsequently cloned, destroyed, and rebuilt as an interface for the virtual Google Art Project. Our narrative envisions a future when visitors use a version of augmented reality to navigate an art collection of digital assets in an otherwise empty museum complex.

Art Project 2023, 2013, HD video, 15 minutes

There are two iterations of this work: a video [view below] and a live performance [view above]. We performed the work at the Whitney Museum on January 14, 2014 for the symposium, Shared Spaces: Social Media and Museum Structures. This was the last public program for the Whitney at the Marcel Breuer-designed museum.
