Lozano-Hemmer Creates a Virtual Environment on MOCA’s Digital Gallery
Thursday, July 1, 2004 — Saturday, January 1, 2005
The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (MOCA) presents “Sitestepper, Relational Architecture 10” by Mexican-Canadian artist Rafael Lozano-Hemmer on moca.org. The work is commissioned by MOCA and is part of an ongoing series of digital artists’ projects.
Specializing in what he calls “relational architecture,” Lozano-Hemmer transforms public spaces using interactive technologies that enable participants to become part of the artwork. “Sitestepper, Relational Architecture 10” consists of a navigable, virtual environment in which viewers can enter the web address of their choice to transform the environment through the selected web site’s text and visual data.
