Cue Artists’ video Vancouver Art Gallery
I was walking in down town Vancouver when I saw this crazy video of things just randomly breaking. I decided to do a little crowd sourcing and recorded a video of the video with my iPhone. It was the Vancouver Cue Artists’ Video exhibit for the Vancouver Art Gallery. It was really intense and I highly recommend you check out the exhibit.
“The Vancouver Art Gallery presents CUE: Artists’ Videos, an exhibition of video art displayed on the portico of the Robson Street facade. In transforming its exterior into a freely accessible, open-air exhibition space, the Gallery has created an opportunity for the public to experience contemporary experimental film and video in new ways. More than seventy artists contribute to this exciting international program, reinforcing Vancouver’s prominence as a major centre for contemporary art by bringing the best of the world to Vancouver and presenting the best of Vancouver for the world to see.” From the Vancouver Art Gallery Website

I’m not an expert in the field of interactive or video art but the loosening or blending of the interstitial space between where art is curated and how it is displayed is something to behold, enjoy and explore.
It inspired me to think of new ways of displaying and curating my own art and design. For example, how would interactive information projected on wall change the way it was interacted with. The space is large and seen by more people then just the user interacting with it. Will the user explore information they are interested in? Or will they consider how many other people might be able to see the information they are accessing and try to interpret that information? What if was displayed on a roof?
Well that is my two cents on the user experience of open space information systems.
