Continuing on the topic of "showing new media art in the gallery": Pierre took the terrific installation shot above of Takeshi Murata's work (the image is on Pierre's flickr page with commentary here), at Vilma Gold Gallery in London. The exhibit was "Take it to the Net," curated by Hanne Mugaas, which included Murata, Michael Bell-Smith, Seth Price, Paper Rad, Paul Davis (Beige), Thomas Barbey, and Jean Baptiste Bayle. I'm curious to know more about this piece. Would I like it less in person? More? What is its "net art equivalent"? Does it have one?
Update: More installation photos of "Take it to the Net" here.
Thanks for posting that, I really wish I had seen that show, and i just emailed some pals in London to find out if they caught it.
Is it static?
Funny, I was hoping that it was static.
hello Tom, hello Robert,
thank you for posting the photo. It is not static, there is a clip of an animation similar to the one on the photo but less colorful on Takeshi Murata's website (www.takeshimurata.com/), "Melter 02" (clip 1).
Pierre.
Thanks. Did Mugaas have projections of several artists' work side by side like that? Is that what we're seeing? Or is everything in your photo Murata?
I take my previous comment back, I do like it animated. (but I'll add that the static image on this blog does serve the work well, in that I wanted more of it, whether it be the real installation or further web representations)
There were three videos projected on the wall side-by-side. Every videos of the show were cycling thru the three projectors, the one in the middle was connected to the amplifier, so we heard the sound of the video when it was projected on the middle.
So there are three different artists' work showing side by side, changing randomly, with sound on the middle projector?
It's more like a triptych video collage piece by Mugaas than a group of different artists, each with his or her own solution for showing "net art" (or just video) in the gallery.
Nothing wrong with that--looks like a good show.
