Artist Uses Augmented Reality to Stage a Performance Intervention at MOMA (NYC)
モーマ美術館では、ARを使用したパフォーマンスが行われていた。
On May 16th, 2014 to coincide with the exhibit “The Abandonment of Art” Adam H Weinert launches a digital installation in The Museum of Modern Art without the museum’s consent. Using an Augmented Reality platform provided through a residency with Dance-Tech, Weinert creates a permanent installation of his recent performances at MoMA in virtual reality. Through the use of a mobile app, participants are able to view footage of his performances simply by training their smartphones or tablet computers to the museum galleries where he performed in October of 2013.
The pieces on display will consist of video documentation of re-performances of the early solo work of choreographer Ted Shawn in the exhibition “20 Dancers for the XXth Century” curated by Boris Charmatz. This includes pieces such as Four Solos Based on American Folk Music (1931) and Pierrot in the Dead City(1935). Shawn made a gift of his works to MoMA in the 1940’s, but the museum later gave away these materials to the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts. Weinert contends that if he had been considered an “Artist” they would not have been able to do so. MoMA’s own policies are such that they do not sell or give away works by living artists and Shawn was living at the time of his deaccession.
