Artists Jason Schuler, Justine Williams, Vanessa Gilbert and Patricia Faolli from the Performance and Interactive Media Arts (PIMA) MFA program at Brooklyn College were residence at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Media Lab, exploring creative ways to use augmented-reality to tour the Museum’s collections.
Inspired by community-based artistic collaborations, the emerging artists are collaborating with established older artists Paul Binnerts, Nancy Gabor, Stephen Hall, Penny Jones and Christina Maile, who have sustained artistic practices, living and working at the historic Westbeth Home to the Arts. The group calls the collaboration “Metaverses” referring to collective virtual shared space.
