Virtual Present Tour makes visible the devise responsible of digitizing art venues in order to inquiry about the different technical, representational and metaphorical systems that configure the virtual transference of art experiences and the doubling process that occurs when making art venues and its exhibitions available online. The project approaches the particularities, pitfalls and complexities that such reproduction of spaces sets in relation to the acts of viewing and visiting.
The materials contained in this website can and will be edited at any or some moment. Currently, the videos are barely edited, the notes are observations and quick thoughts, and the reproduction of the whole exhibition as a game is in its early stage. Therefore Virtual Tour should not (yet) be understood as a final proposal, but rather as an accumulation of documents in the run, unformed, and virtual in its broadest sense.
Virtual Tour is an on-going open process project that will carry on during the exhibition ‘You Gotta Say Yes to Another Access’ in the Second Research Pavilion in Venice, in Sala del Camino. Campo San Cosmo, 621, Giudecca. From 11th of May to 2nd of July.
