The Digital Museum of Digital Art [DiMoDA] and The Wrong New Media Biennale bring their mobile oculus rift station to the Surf Med Pharmacy in Miami Beach and we can’t wait to get our hands on it!
Inspired by the main character in the 1992 cyberpunk novel, Snow Crash by Neil Stephenson, the project features works by Claudia Hart (NY/CHICAGO), Tim Berresheim (DE) Jacolby Satterwhite (NY), and a project by Aquanet 2001 (Salvador Loza & Gibran Morgado) from Mexico City.
In the novel, the protagonist, a pizza delivery boy, lives in a 10 x 10 storage unit with his laptop and virtual reality goggles. But, once inside his container, he taps into the metaverse where he is an internet cyber samurai superhero. Similarly, visitors can expect an derelict and almost empty space, that hides a massive museum inside.
