Description
YBCA, in collaboration with the Kadist Art Foundation, presents a new project by French artists Patrick Bernier and Olive Martin titled Singing the Net. The project centers on ideas of frontiers, territories, movement, and identity using the Internet as a source of metaphors for these subjects with its unique territories, histories, and identities. The artists work in collaboration with local computer programmers and storytellers to create a new Internet navigation tool that creates stories through an automatic navigation of the Internet. These stories are told visually and through song as a further collaboration with singers, giving way to musical interpretations in a live performance.

A series of interactive events with Bernier and Martin are scheduled during the first week of their installation. Please visit www.ybca.org for more details.
