Below, a document containing an exhustive listing of the "Review of Press" for the 2008 and 2010 ZERO 1 New Media Biennial.  The festival was covered by dozens of local, national and internationl channels. 

 

I took MAW to ZERO 1 in 2008 for a number of urban interventions (see videos here).  In 2010, MAW and I were commissioned to produce a new work for Absolute Zero: Lavish Martyr/Exquisite Corpse by ZERO 1 and performed in San Jose on Sep. 17th, 2010.

 

Many thanks to ZERO 1 for sharing these document.

 

Spring 2010: COLA 3950/5950: Art for the People, Art on Wheels

Professor: Ali Momeni

Art for the People/Art on Wheels is a vehicle for familiarizing and engaging students with the Minneapolis Art on Wheels (MAW) project, as well as a way for students to produce and show works of public art.

Minneapolis Art on Wheels is an on-going public arts initiative. We leverage advanced mobile technology to bring socially engaged art and technology into diverse communities. We aim to use the scale and accessibility of our exhibitions to make the Twin Cities an international leader in socially engaged and technologically enhanced creative projects. We are able to produce moving images up to several hundred feet, outdoors, in public spaces. Our emphasis on mobile devices (i.e. cellular phones) and gestural interaction with media (e.g. laser tag, real-time video tracking and gesture recognition) allows a wide audience to interact with mobile media. The project engages students in creative use of technology and materializes this engagement in the form of community outreach and temporary public art.
