+Nomadic Information Broadcasting Studio & Portable Exhibition Venue+
This 6-person tent is outfitted with a laptop set up for wireless transmission (employing cell-phone technology) to the web, a small video projector, and digital videocamera. In addition to serving as a portable dispatch office, the Nomadic Information Broadcasting Studio & Portable Exhibition Venueis a mutable studio and exposition space.
With the Nomadic Information Broadcasting Studio, the Internet is exploited for in-the-trenches-style reporting. Events such as the Art & Industry Festivalin Berlin, the Laboratoriumexhibition in Antwerp, possibly the Venice Biennale or other artistic & cultural occurrences will be covered. Site-specific reportage is broadcast by way of an email broadside/bulletin & website.
Visual reports will be created for digital dispatch via the web. A digital video camera will be used to gather images from the immediate surroundings; nightly projections on the tent walls make use of these dailies, employing them as site-specific installation.
This versatile tent is a constantly evolving exhibition space. Projected video images can stand alone, or augment everything from environmental installations to exhibitions of artworks &/or artifacts. The key is flexibility. The Portable Exhibition Venueoffers the latitude necessary for immediate response to any situation.
Exhibits can develop
out of themes implicit to the surrounding environment. Its adaptability
makes the Portable Exhibition Venuea perfect framework for
experiments in social sculpture, a platform for guest speakers to
lecture & demonstrate, or site for round-table discussions.
