VISIONARY VISUAL AND PERFORMING ARTISTS AND CREATORS REACH A GLOBAL AUDIENCE VIA STREAMING MUSEUM'S CROSS-REALITY "ELECTRONIC SUPERHIGHWAY"
Streaming Museum is a new hybrid Museum that presents real-time exhibitions in cyberspace and public space on seven continents. It is produced in New York City in collaboration with international cultural, educational, and public centers; artists, curators and visionary creators. Exhibitions are viewed in cyberspace at www.streamingmuseum.org and Ars Virtua New Media Center in Second Life, and public locations around the world according to schedules listed on the website.
Artists and Innovators for the Environment is a three-part exhibition series that presents the perspectives of 40 international visionary creators on the interdependence between humanity and the ecosystem – from Merce Cunningham and Nam June Paik, to artificial intelligence personalities created by Toni Dove, to Paul Miller DJ Spooky and other iconic and emerging fine and pop artists and visionaries.
On October 3 Streaming Museum launched the exhibition series in collaboration with TED Prize and the Urban Screens Festival in a simultaneous cross-continental broadcast of program content and visual connection between the Time Warner Center at Columbus Circle, New York City, and Federation Square, Melbourne, Australia.
Taking inspiration from pioneer multi-media artist Nam June Paik who in the 1970's envisioned an "electronic superhighway" as an open and free medium for imagination and exchange of global cultures, the Museum launched on January 29, 2008 exhibiting simultaneously on 7 continents, Paik's Good Morning Mr. Orwell - an entertaining mix of international fine art and pop culture.
