System Failure. Please Restart. presents the work of 42 artists on web-based VR platform Mozilla HUBS designed, created and curated in collaboration with a Center of Emergent Technology Institute (CETI).
Gallery of the Future presents Ash + Clay
Ash + Clay is a work of two looped, performative videos created in remote collaboration by artists Cat Ross and divinebrick / josie j. This work calls upon the language of the physical body as contrasted to the symbolism of cinder block and brick as raw materials for construction. Through color, object activation, and body movements we find the space to recreate, to redefine, to rebuild a world we want to live in. This performative work is showcased in System Failure. Please Restart. in the virtual parking garage on the HUBS platform.
