In view of the great success of ‚Walkthroughs‘, synthesis is pleased to present ‚Walkthroughs – A Further Look‘.

With many of us still stuck home, Zoom taking over most of our social life and the art world going digital, we long to create a virtual ecosystem that keeps on feeding our creativity and frees us from tension and stress. Walkthroughs is our response to the current challenging times. Now more than ever, we think it is important to stay connected, creative and get inspired. Walkthroughs of VR artistic experiences is what we have envisioned. VR art live streamed through the artist’s eyes. A weekly meetup happening safely online with curators joining the conversation and creatives that, in turn, put the headset on, share their screen and walk us through the VR work. The walkthroughs focus on providing an overview of the artist’s creative process and insights into the work as heard from the artists themselves, as they walk us through it.

For ‚Walkthroughs – A Further Look‘, we are thrilled to present artworks by Claudia Hart, Armin Keplinger and Alfredo Salazar-Caro.

Claudia Hart – walkthrough and conversation with Christiane Paul (Curator – Whitney Museum of American Art) + live exchange with the Artist.

For Walkthroughs, Claudia Hart presents ‚Alice Unchained‘ and ‚ON ZOOMOLOGY‘. According to Hart: “Alice Unchained is a machine for thinking: a virtual chamber for repose and contemplation.” Inspired by Alice in Wonderland, the 2018 work mixes 3D animation, motion-captured ballet and music improvised live in the VR environment to later recapture it in the bodies of music avatars who deform to the music. The back and forth exchange between the virtual and live, merges and fuses the two in a liminal, uncanny way. Inspired by the technology theorist Donna Haraway’s Cyborg Manifesto, Hart creates a chamber music experience that reminds of the 19th century salon for chamber music and time of Alice.

In 2019, Claudia Hart received the award from the Esports Digital Art Prizes. Her acceptance of the award included the creative remixing of ZOOM’s virtual background feature. The acceptance video went viral and points to a playful emerging art practice in the time of crisis, something Hart calls ‚ON ZOOMOLOGY‘. The series riffs on her School of the Art Institute seminar, Travels in Hyperreality, and includes mini rants on influential media theorists, from Baudrillard to Marshall McCluhan.

CLAUDIA HART (b. 1955, USA, https://claudiahart.com/) is an artist and associate professor in the Department of Film, Video, New Media, Animation at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois. She is represented by bitforms gallery, New York. Hart has been active as an artist, curator, and critic since 1988. She creates virtual representations that take the form of 3D imagery integrated into photography, animated loops, and multi-channel animation installations.
