happening live now
Happening Live is currently under refurbishment as technology has changed and consequently is in an upgrade phase.
Happening Live (online since June 2007)
A dozen site-specific installations framed by donated Panasonic Surveillance cameras placed within open air studio Shinnecock Hills stream a dozen live-feeds online 24/7 going beyond the walls of a traditional gallery setting and blurring the lines between art and daily life.
A dynamic work of art characterized by change, activity, and climactic conditions within this microenvironment; the macrocosm, Earth. Contextualizing issues of privacy in this unfiltered live stream viewed freely, anonymously on the “World Wide Web.” Inspired by a spider observed on a Sol LeWitt wall drawing at Die Beacon, “Lore/Lure” hovers in the airspace, suspended between sky and land. Composed of highly reflective monofilament selected for its embodiment of “String Theory”: the multiple prisms of bright light and flashes give pause to predators (hawks, herons, eagles, fox, osprey, owls, possums, raccoons). In concert with hundreds of steel spirals, reflecting balls and fish lures placed strategically amongst the habitat created for the Shinnecock Family Flock, native songbirds, squirrels frogs and fish.
This freely accessed public artwork, programmed by video RX founder Robert Reinhardt, is a laboratory for experimentation.
Reinvented daily by birds and Flock Members who are inhabiting it freely, amidst artworks ranging from temporary projects, sculpture, and live-performance.
Panasonic Surveillance Cameras donated by Panasonic North America: with thanks to Gina Meyer, Bob Kramer, Kortni Lane, Michelle O’Grady, Elysha Padilla, and Aaron Saks.
Happening Live now was in use for the 2013, Museum of Art and Design exhibition, Against The Grain
This site-specific installation is framed by a dozen Panasonic Surveillance cameras placed within open air studio Shinnecock Hills and streaming a dozen live feeds online round the clock/ 24/7. Beyond the walls of a traditional gallery setting that blurs the lines between art and daily life.
A dynamic work of art characterized by change, activity, and climactic conditions within this micro-environment and the macrocosm of Earth. Issues of privacy are contextualized in this unfiltered live stream that is viewed freely and anonymously on the “world wide web.”
Further inspiration came from a spider who was observed on a Sol LeWitt drawing at Dia Beacon. “Lore/Lure” hovers in the airspace, suspended between sky and land. Composed of highly reflective monofilament selected for its embodiment of “String Theory” the multiple prisms of bright light give pause to predators (Hawks, herons, Eagles Fox, Osprey, Owls, Possums, Raccoons).
