Outside / Inside: Virtual Panoramas of Independence National Historical Park: Roderick Coover
APS Museum (on view during Museum hours)
Through 28 December 2008
See witty video journeys in and around the APS Museum and Independence National Historical Park. Against a kaleidoscope of shifting Park panoramas, this video artwork playfully documents what UNEXPECTED artists have discovered about one of Philadelphia's urban parks.
As visitors roll the computer mouse over the scrolling panoramas, they
discover sights (sites), sounds, and portals that open onto video clips from
Keyser's You Are Here expeditions. These
clips take visitors through the Museum and the Park, including Winifred
Lutz's art installations. New clips are added after selected expeditions, and
at the end of the project, the completed interactive work will remain
available on the APS Museum website.
This project's virtual reality intersects closely with the actual reality of Brett Keyser's expeditions. A reflection on how time and history change the ways we know a place, it is both an organic artwork developing over the course of the UNEXPECTED residency project and a documentary that will remain after it ends.
