The Future of ____ (Installation)

As a group, we’re interested in installation work in galleries and museums. In our version of the imagined future, we envision that, with the help of augmented reality, viewers will be able to see and interact with art without physically going to a gallery space. There are questions of access when it comes to viewing work in museums and/or galleries. Who is allowed? Who isn’t allowed? What works are allowed? When we bring it into the public context, we invite the public to participate in viewing the work and in conversations about the work.

In our search for work that engages with the public and politics, we were interested in finding political meanings in street art and creating an augmented installation gallery where the viewer can come into the space, sit down, and watch the work magically appear.
