Join us on Friday, October 9 at 6pm for an opening roundtable talk with Stephanie Sang Delgado and Galo Cañizares of office ca, in conversation with the students of NOMAS SAIC. Register for the Zoom event by clicking on the link in our bio.
Stephanie and Galo will discuss their new physical/virtual hybrid exhibit "Our Paper Space" hosted in AIADO's Hallway Gallery. Ourpaper.Space is a custom interface for anonymous collective drawing. It is accessible to anyone with an internet connection on desktop and mobile devices. Immediately upon entering, individuals can generate marks by dragging their cursor on the digital canvas. Each visitor is assigned a random color, which they may change. Though graphical and spatial negotiations will inevitably take place, visitors are encouraged to work together to produce delightful compositions, imagining who might be at the other end of the cursor. For the physical installation on the 12th floor Hallway Gallery, a we**am transmits distorted footage of the gallery space. Visitors can draw on top of the live feed and leave their graphic traces on screens, which reveal their real-time interactions. A physical curtain provides a filter for the televised effects as well as socially-distanced seating for visitors.
This exhibition and talk is curated by NOMAS SAIC and Joseph Altshuler as part of the AIADO Hallway Gallery 2020-21 series entitled ‘Modified In-Personhood.'
