On Saturday, November 16, Miltos Manetas' Electronic Orphanage art collective will produce a crazy and cool digital art event in L.A.'s Chinatown district. Billed as "the introduction of NEEN, the first art movement of the 21st century, to Europe," Saturday's performance takes place simultaneously with a participating team of artists in Holland. If you're stopping by in LA, the event will be going full-force from about 6-10PM.
Location: electronic orphanage, 975 chung king road,
los angeles, california 90012 (map)
The event is sort of a simulwebcast/simul-camp-in with a sister gallery in
Utrecht, Holland. During the show, digital artists from San Francisco, LA,
and New York will gather at the Orphanage space. The idea is that each artist will, for the
weekend, become a little avatar that operates in the "virtual space" of the
gallery. For the duration of the show, the galleries in Holland and LA each
are transformed into Internet space.
