Telepresent Tug-of-War - Tues., 04/11
Michael Weisert presents his thesis show, Telepresent Tug-of-War: Proxy Battles, tonight, April 11th, simultaneously at Anno Domini and SJSU's Art Building in Gallery 2. The piece is described as a haptic artwork which blends the performance of sport with modern technologies allowing for competition across vast distances. The artwork re-creates force exerted by one player onto the opposing side using sensors and (2 ton) winches. In the Proxy Battles, these two sides will be Anno Domini and San Jose State University Gallery 2.
The exhibit will be available for battles between 6pm - 7pm, followed by a brief presentation and Q&A.
