Plug&DisPLAY
An atmosphere for new media art
The exhibition of new media art depends on the capacity of the space to display performance work. To experience immaterial, variable, and non-stable objects. This documentation occurs in a real time.
Plug&DisPLAY is a replicable and transportable structure for artists to provide a flexible space that could be able to adapt to their activities during an exhibition.
The new atmosphere will improve the interaction between the artists, the environment and the public.
This temporary model can be reproduced in different locations.
Museums and galleries have been designed to show static works and for an unlimited period. Nowadays new media art is gaining space in the art scene. Besides emergent new media artists usually do not have the opportunity to display their performative art in well-established galleries or festivals. We need locations to exhibit and experience this rotating work that changes every time, assemble and dissemble structure to let artists organize their own events and display their work by themselves.
The aim of the project is:
To create a replicable and transportable structure for artists to provide a flexible space that could be able to adapt to their activities during an exhibition.
To supply a space for artists which can be reproduced in different locations.
To improve the interaction between the artists, the environment, and the public by use of this temporary model.
To combine architecture, art and technology, using local resources and promoting local participation, the fab lab community, artists and general public.
To empower new media artists with a flexible and replicable model they can set up, transport, and store by themselves, adaptable to their specific requirements to promote their art.
The strategy of the project is to combine architecture, art and technology, using local resources and promoting local participation, the fab lab community, artists and general public.
The system will work with modular elements that will be combined with accessories and will depend on the machines that will be needed for the specific art exhibition.
The first intervention of this product will happen in the next May, in L’Estruch in an event called, Hack & Art day, in Sabadell. The aim of this center is to promote performative art with the application of new technologies.
The next step is developing the construction drawings and prototypes, in parallel with the thesis documentation. The final presentation of the thesis project will be in June 2018.
