RegisTree
My piece in The End of You, the immersive exhibition that opened at Gray Area in San Francisco in 2020. Credited as lead artist on RegisTree within the series.
What it is. RegisTree was my piece within The End of You, the immersive group exhibition that opened at Gray Area in San Francisco in early 2020. Gray Area is an experimental art-and-technology space in the Mission. The End of You was a twelve-artist series; the public credits list me as the lead artist on RegisTree, and press coverage (Mission Local, Gray Area) names me among the artists.
The work. It was a piece about mortality and digital identity. It came out of the period when The Life Robotic studio was taking the experiential-design practice I had built at museums and applying it outside institutional walls. I gave an Artist Salon talk at Gray Area in September 2019, “Science of experience,” in the run-up to the show.
What I did. Concept and lead-artist role on RegisTree specifically, inside a curated multi-artist exhibition that Gray Area produced and hosted. The series and venue were Gray Area’s; the piece was mine.
