Kristin Lucas: Dance with flARmingos is a solo gallery exhibition with additional contributions by digital artists - Eteam, Peter Baldes, Shamus Clisset, Ben Coonley, Brenna Murphy, Eva Papamargariti, Will Pappenheimer, Mark Skwarek, Jack Stenner, and Giselle Zatonyl.
The gallery featured work by Lucas, who also curated, designed, and technically-produced a group exhibition of 10 Augmented Reality(AR) works by digital artists on the grounds of the gallery. The outdoor AR exhibition was built using web server software developed by artist-developer Thomas Storey to communicate with the Layar–a geolocation AR platform that supported the work of many early AR artists with a free service. After the opening Storey’s “nayar” was freely shared through GitHub however Layar no longer exist.
Artist contributions to Dance with flARmingos sculpture garden exhibition:
Peter Baldes, Future Warning Signifier, 2015. For when we have flying cars, or for drones.
Shamus Clisset, Patio Serpent, 2015.
Ben Coonley, Whole, 2015. In 2013, the Gowanus Canal superfund site in Brooklyn was augmented by a 56,000 square-foot LEED Platinum Certified Whole Foods Market with a rooftop greenhouse. This work is a care package from a kindred toxic waste dump/artist community/zone of impossibly fast development.
Eteam, Petrified Wood, 2015. Dead carbon collector seeing its petrified ancestor as a future solidified form of itself.
Brenna Murphy, Domain Vessel, 2015.
Eva Papamargariti, DI-WAVVE, 2015.
Will Pappenheimer, Florida Rushmore, 2015. An upside down imprint of the Devils Mill Hopper sinkhole fashioned as a slab of melting polar ice cap carved in Florida Ocala limestone - with rotating 123-D Catch crowd sourced portraits.
Mark Skwarek, Digital Pit, 2015. Since the dawn of man, countless attempts have been made to dig a hole to the other side of the earth. Many have tried often leading in disaster and costly rescue attempts. Mark Skwarek has done what was once said to be impossible and constructed a tunnel to the other side of the earth! The construction of the hole has only just become possible thanks to recent advances in augmented reality technology, making space age materials and construction methods available.
Jack Stenner, Atlas Misunderstood, 2015.
