Immersive experiences
• School: forced into it when you’re young, and
it becomes a huge part of your life.
• Friends: they influence you in positive and
negative ways.
• Literature: you “get lost” in those books….you
“lose track of time.”
• Netflix: “You get Caught up…”
• Games: (nerd alert!!) lose your sense of time!
Techniques artists use to CREATE
immersive experiences
• Try to relate to the view through personal experience:
example: Damali Abrams vlog series OR….
• Create an emotional response in the viewer. example: Starry
Night: Enigmatic response
• Create a scenario that provokes the viewer into thinking of
LOTS OF STUFF ALL AT ONCE. example: Tino Seghal
• Find ways to trigger your senses: sight, sound,
temperature.
• example: breaking the cycle Betan Curth and Neumann
Virtual REALITY: a fake or false world that you get sucked into kinda
through the use of technology! example: Occulus Rift
• Provocative (causing arousal, alertness, or curiosity)
imagery: Kara Walker’s Sugar Baby
Immersive experiences
• Ash-SON: Anywhere in NYC, like Times Sq. or Riverside.
• LEO: Video Games…feel like you’re “IN the ARENA or
BATTLEFIELD.”
• Joe: sound in movie theaters for ACTION movies.
• Nicole-1: Immersed in TV shows. OR…Literally
immersed in Agua.
• Vinchenzo: Anything that creates a sense of nostalgia.
Being immersed in a memory may inform your
FUTURE. WOW.
• VANYA: Literature, like books like, you know you get
into it. Especially if you like read it a lot. You get
engulfed in it.
“A group of monks from Massachusetts organized a walking
pilgrimage to retrace the transatlantic slave trade. Because my
mom practiced Buddhism, it’s always been part of my life. I found
out about the pilgrimage and instantly knew that I wanted to go. I
was an assistant to photographer Walter Chin, and happy with the
job, but I left it and left a boyfriend to go on the journey. We went
from Massachusetts to New Orleans to Key West. From there we
took a boat through the Caribbean Islands, which have had a huge
impact on my work. There was an offshoot that went to Brazil by
boat, but I came back to the States for two weeks to fundraise
because we lived communally by donations and shared our
resources.
I was a year-and-a-half with the monks and then I hitched
throughout the east coast of Africa with a friend for another year.
So, I rejoined the pilgrimage in Gambia and we walked to Nigeria,
where we took a plane to South Africa. The pilgrimage came to an
end in 2000 when we met with Archbishop Desmond Tutu, one of
the leaders of South Africa’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
We walked eight hours a day, everyday. It was a walking

Simmon’s work considers the
language, physicality, and
circumstantial position of the
African American woman,
sometimes staging her into
seemingly parallel realities.
For the Bronx Borough Courthouse,
Simmons creates new work by
stealthily collecting a series of
images that emerge out of a hidden
dance performance in the building in
collaboration with Bronx-based
contemporary artists.

We all gots different relationships with people.
These phyiscal acts are a way of SHOWING that relationship.

GuzzY: Simmons wants her
work to me “open” and more
about interpretation.
Tots: Her work is a
“continuation, rather than
chopped into pieces”
Luis: Wants her work to speak
by itself, without
assistance…with viewer
interaction.
LUPY: The viewer sees
multiple artworks, and the
meaning accumulates as they
see each work.
http://artpulsemagazine.com/surveyor-an-

To accumulate: To build up (in
quantity) through repetitive
actions.
Nostalgia
Human Nature
It’s like a story, a narrative.
Make choices,
Greg: All of our
experiences and problems
accumulate into our own
past.
Cierra: Open to interpretations about her
work…
Henry: text pieces are treated like
“landscapes” and “photographs.”
Kozak: Text= Imagery!
Bending one medium (material) into
another
Jackie: “photos as sculptures” molds
photos INTO 3d forms
Joe: the viewer should “get ideas” from
the photos and sculptures.
VANIA: reminiscent of Lawrence Weiner’s

None of Simmons’ works are self-
portraits, these are explorations of
characters in relationship to landscape
and other themes of “non-linear spaces”
and “in-between spaces,” things that shift
from one thing to another.
She describes herself as “electrically
inspired”, meaning the inspiration is
steady and constant and to that end she
is constantly trying to keep up with
herself and what she engages with.
Literature, news, music, design,
conversations, colors, textures, forms,
science, midwifery, art historical
references, travel, it’s all just “fertilizer”
for the works.

Literature, news, music, design, conversations,

What motivates you to…
Seeking praise and others’ approval…people’s judgments affect your
Approval from others…
Self esteem may be linked to motivation…
Motivated to keep that self esteem HIGH UP THERE!
Parental pride vs. PERSONAL pride
Make things?
”When those eyes look at my work, they like ‘that shit mad cool’.”
Get involved in things?
Competition
Family motivates me to raise the bar.
Investigate things?
 Grades motivate me to investigate further.
 Grades dictate your ACADEMIC future.
 Sometimes it’s ALL WE CAN SEE, just the drive to get good grades but you may
lose your sense of SELF IMPROVEMENT
 The way you treat your grades (and yourself) becomes a routine.
 The cycle of getting good grades can actually cause your grades to decrease.

When does the law apply to some
people and when does it not?
• Social Class and Financial class affects how the law is
applied to you (UNOFFICIALLY)
• Police officers are often “above” the law (see ANY
example of this, EVER.)
• RACIAL BIAS (Unofficially)
• Age - tried as a minor or tried as a legal adult (18+)
• Undocumented people (have like no rights) vs citizens,
inalienable rights
• Previous records (maximum or minimum sentencing)
• Diplomatic immunity: most laws of the country you’re
in don’t apply to you. For some serious crimes, the
diplomat may be extradited (sent back to their own
country to deal with THEIR justice system)

“New York is inspiring. It’s
got my heart and my
history and community. But
I’m more interested in a
larger cultural dialogue
that isn’t limited to NY.
Often I look for the
mundane or the uncanny
and try to undress such
social phenomena by
intervening in some
alchemical way (through
magic or sorcery) . I’m
going to Manila and Tokyo
soon and eager to see
how those cities will

Architectural glass, silver nitrate, ultraviolet

All of these elements
build the artifice of the
‘pomp and
circumstance’ of an
important figure or
event.
Everything is really just
‘smoke and mirrors’,
which leads me to talk
about the Smoke Cloud
work, which were
partly inspired by
images of the recent
Ferguson riots of
people in protest
standing in the middle
of tear gas clouds.
“Smoke and mirrors” is a
metaphor for something that is
deceptive or fraudulent,
pretending to be something that
it’s not.

• Birds and Windows – How do they relate?
– We can see through windows…sometimes there’s a bird. Birds are
FREEEEEEEDOOOOOOMMMM
– Birds fly into windows….because they’re transparent. Because windex!! They’re
deceived into believing that the window isn’t even there in the first place.
– The window is “deceiving” the birds. It’s an ILLUSION to them.
– Greek Grandma feeding the birds…but then one day she didn’t feed them and
they crashed into the window.
– Ryan crashed into the door at H&M…and security made fun of him.
– Dealing with FAILURE: Give the world a STANK face.
– To err is human. ..you gotta cry…and throw excrement at people
– You may fail but you’ve gotta get back up (and hope it doesn’t smell)
– You LEARN from failure. …but you still are mad and disappointed in yourself,
shocked and chagrinned! .
– Remember your failures BECAUSE….
• You don’t wanna feel that way again.
• Use that failure as Motivation… .turn it into a learning experience.

• Birds and Windows – How do they relate?—POORLY.
– Birds sometimes “bump” into windows (fly INTO windows.
– Bird hit a building and it DIED.
– Windex commercial….birds don’t realize that there’s even a
window there in the first place.
– There’s a REALITY that birds are oblivious to. By believing in the
illusion, their necks get snapped and they DIE.
– WE ARE THE BIRDS, oblivious to illusions and lies until .
– Is it better to fly through the air as if there are NO windows to
crash into? Or be so scared of crashing into windows that you
never try to fly in the first place?
– If fear takes over you, that will guide your path.
– ‘waste of time’ not all rewards are immediately received.
– Risk Averse
– “You don’t wanna look back on life and think “what if…”
– You don’t know what success is like until you know what failure
is.

“I think relevance and
innovation are really
important. I don’t think
people though will tell
you if your work is
irrelevant or not
innovative. I’d like them
to.”
What do you think it means to be “relevant” or “innovative?”
Innovative: Taking something ordinary and making something NEW…doing
something for the BETTER of the world. Clean energy cars (like TESLA!! Elon
Musk)
Relevant: To be important in TIME, SITUATION, Relevant things advance
forward…irrelevant things get lost in the past.

Final Thoughts…
The past two days everyone had something to say since it was related to
them.
Lopez’ work can be related to our lives because of our interpretation.
Her work evokes serious and complex issues through something so simple.
These conversations don’t work if you’re “immature” and not ready to face
this issue (if you’re in denial.

it, It should be

Ramifications (consequences) of these
ideas?
.increased curiosity from visitors.
….economical: museum may need to lower
price$ in order to be more inclu$ive.
.some Museums are expensive!!
To give “more access” to people is
empowering. They can explore new topics
and learn cool stuff.
It’s like a cycle! The more people involved,
the more they encourage others to
experience the arts.
And it IS cyclical!
Younger folks may be exposed to NEW stuff
that they may not want to see? OR that they
want to see.
You’ve gotta see stuff that challenges you if
you also wanna see stuff that you LIKE.
If the art doesn’t challenge you, you may
lose interest….you lose appreciation for it.

Ramifications (consequences) of these

“Broaden the horizons” of the public - open
up their plane of thinking.
“How do you make EVERYONE feel included?”
Have the OPPORTUNITY to see it…whether or
not you like/dislike
Variety in art helps, also easy to
understand art.
Free services (wifi, toilets)
The higher the price of entry, the more
affluent the people in the museum (thus,
free-museum nights)
Younger people can help “balance out” the
museum audience.
Make younger people more interested in
museums..and not excluded.

  • 3. Immersive experiences • School: forced into it when you’re young, and it becomes a huge part of your life. • Friends: they influence you in positive and negative ways. • Literature: you “get lost” in those books….you “lose track of time.” • Netflix: “You get Caught up…” • Games: (nerd alert!!) lose your sense of time!
  • 4. Techniques artists use to CREATE immersive experiences • Try to relate to the view through personal experience: example: Damali Abrams vlog series OR…. • Create an emotional response in the viewer. example: Starry Night: Enigmatic response • Create a scenario that provokes the viewer into thinking of LOTS OF STUFF ALL AT ONCE. example: Tino Seghal • Find ways to trigger your senses: sight, sound, temperature. • example: breaking the cycle Betan Curth and Neumann Virtual REALITY: a fake or false world that you get sucked into kinda through the use of technology! example: Occulus Rift • Provocative (causing arousal, alertness, or curiosity) imagery: Kara Walker’s Sugar Baby
  • 5. Immersive experiences • Ash-SON: Anywhere in NYC, like Times Sq. or Riverside. • LEO: Video Games…feel like you’re “IN the ARENA or BATTLEFIELD.” • Joe: sound in movie theaters for ACTION movies. • Nicole-1: Immersed in TV shows. OR…Literally immersed in Agua. • Vinchenzo: Anything that creates a sense of nostalgia. Being immersed in a memory may inform your FUTURE. WOW. • VANYA: Literature, like books like, you know you get into it. Especially if you like read it a lot. You get engulfed in it.

  • 8. “A group of monks from Massachusetts organized a walking pilgrimage to retrace the transatlantic slave trade. Because my mom practiced Buddhism, it’s always been part of my life. I found out about the pilgrimage and instantly knew that I wanted to go. I was an assistant to photographer Walter Chin, and happy with the job, but I left it and left a boyfriend to go on the journey. We went from Massachusetts to New Orleans to Key West. From there we took a boat through the Caribbean Islands, which have had a huge impact on my work. There was an offshoot that went to Brazil by boat, but I came back to the States for two weeks to fundraise because we lived communally by donations and shared our resources. I was a year-and-a-half with the monks and then I hitched throughout the east coast of Africa with a friend for another year. So, I rejoined the pilgrimage in Gambia and we walked to Nigeria, where we took a plane to South Africa. The pilgrimage came to an end in 2000 when we met with Archbishop Desmond Tutu, one of the leaders of South Africa’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission. We walked eight hours a day, everyday. It was a walking

  • 11. Xaviera Simmons Untitled (still from Number 18/Number 19) 2015 Medium: color photograph Simmon’s work considers the language, physicality, and circumstantial position of the African American woman, sometimes staging her into seemingly parallel realities. For the Bronx Borough Courthouse, Simmons creates new work by stealthily collecting a series of images that emerge out of a hidden dance performance in the building in collaboration with Bronx-based contemporary artists.
  • 12. Xaviera Simmons Untitled (still from Number 18/Number 19) 2015 Medium: color photograph We all gots different relationships with people. These phyiscal acts are a way of SHOWING that relationship. It’s a physical manifestation of EMOTION! Physical contact is arousing in all senses of the word.
  • 14. Xaviera Simmons Landscape (2 Women) 2007 Medium: color photograph http://artpulsemagazine.com/surveyor-an- interview-with-xaviera-simmons
  • 15. GuzzY: Simmons wants her work to me “open” and more about interpretation. Tots: Her work is a “continuation, rather than chopped into pieces” Luis: Wants her work to speak by itself, without assistance…with viewer interaction. LUPY: The viewer sees multiple artworks, and the meaning accumulates as they see each work. http://artpulsemagazine.com/surveyor-an- interview-with-xaviera-simmons To accumulate: To build up (in quantity) through repetitive actions. Nostalgia Human Nature It’s like a story, a narrative. Make choices, Greg: All of our experiences and problems accumulate into our own past.
  • 16. Cierra: Open to interpretations about her work… Henry: text pieces are treated like “landscapes” and “photographs.” Kozak: Text= Imagery! Bending one medium (material) into another Jackie: “photos as sculptures” molds photos INTO 3d forms Joe: the viewer should “get ideas” from the photos and sculptures. VANIA: reminiscent of Lawrence Weiner’s artwork (text based artist) Swiss CHARDO: “Everything should be seen as a continuation and an accumulation of images and textures to create a nostalgic connection” http://artpulsemagazine.com/surveyor-an- interview-with-xaviera-simmons Accumulate: To acquire over time and build up in amounts

  • 18. Xaviera Simmons Untitled (still from Number 18/Number 19) 2015 Medium: color photograph None of Simmons’ works are self- portraits, these are explorations of characters in relationship to landscape and other themes of “non-linear spaces” and “in-between spaces,” things that shift from one thing to another. She describes herself as “electrically inspired”, meaning the inspiration is steady and constant and to that end she is constantly trying to keep up with herself and what she engages with. Literature, news, music, design, conversations, colors, textures, forms, science, midwifery, art historical references, travel, it’s all just “fertilizer” for the works. Put it in soil to add nutrients to help plants grow….FEEDS a plant. To encourage growth to Motivate!
  • 19. Literature, news, music, design, conversations, colors, textures, forms, science, midwifery, art historical references, travel, it’s all just “fertilizer” for the works. What motivates you to… Seeking praise and others’ approval…people’s judgments affect your Approval from others… Self esteem may be linked to motivation… Motivated to keep that self esteem HIGH UP THERE! Parental pride vs. PERSONAL pride Make things? ”When those eyes look at my work, they like ‘that shit mad cool’.” Get involved in things? Competition Family motivates me to raise the bar. Investigate things?  Grades motivate me to investigate further.  Grades dictate your ACADEMIC future.  Sometimes it’s ALL WE CAN SEE, just the drive to get good grades but you may lose your sense of SELF IMPROVEMENT  The way you treat your grades (and yourself) becomes a routine.  The cycle of getting good grades can actually cause your grades to decrease. P8
  • 20. Literature, news, music, design, conversations, colors, textures, forms, science, midwifery, art historical references, travel, it’s all just “fertilizer” for the works. What motivates you to… Make things? when I need something. The satisfaction of completing something! MOM REWARDS Get involved in things? if it’s FUN and edible. Curiosity, grades (has real world consequences) productivity, experience in a thing! Investigate things? if it teaches me something, makes me curious a desire to collaborate with others to solve things before others (to be competitive, to be OPRAH- RICH! And/or have an higher standard of living) P3
  • 21. When does the law apply to some people and when does it not? • Social Class and Financial class affects how the law is applied to you (UNOFFICIALLY) • Police officers are often “above” the law (see ANY example of this, EVER.) • RACIAL BIAS (Unofficially) • Age - tried as a minor or tried as a legal adult (18+) • Undocumented people (have like no rights) vs citizens, inalienable rights • Previous records (maximum or minimum sentencing) • Diplomatic immunity: most laws of the country you’re in don’t apply to you. For some serious crimes, the diplomat may be extradited (sent back to their own country to deal with THEIR justice system)
  • 22. Who created the legal system? Who does the system serve? http://www.duhaime.org/ 2853 BC: Evidence of law during the reign of legendary Chinese Emperor Fuxi 2350 BC: Urukagina's Code 2050 BC: Ur-Nammu's Code 1850 BC: The Earliest Known Legal Decision 1760 BC: Hammurabi's Code 1350 BC: Deborah (Israel) 1300 BC: The Ten Commandments 1125 BC: Eannashumiddina's Kudurru (Mesopotamia) 1000 BC: The Chou Dynasty Laws 800 BC: Lex Rhodia 700 BC: Lycurgus' Law 621 BC: Draco's Law (Greece) 536 BC: The Book of Punishments (China) 530 BC: Solon's Laws (Greece) 480 BC: Law Code of Gortys or Gortyn (Crete) 450 BC: The Twelve Tables (Rome) 399 BC: The Trial of Socrates (Greece) 400-350 BC: The Chinese Codes of Fa Jing and Li k'vei (China) 286 BC: Lex Aquila 210 BC: The Qin Code (China) 206 BC: Han Code (China) 200 BC: The Laws of Manu
  • 23. Who created the legal system? Who does the system serve? http://www.duhaime.org/ Thieves and adulteresses were to be stoned to death with stones inscribed with the name of their crime. Dismissal of corrupt men, protection for the poor and a punishment system where the punishment is proportionate to the crime. Laws of Morality and Religion.

  • 26. “New York is inspiring. It’s got my heart and my history and community. But I’m more interested in a larger cultural dialogue that isn’t limited to NY. Often I look for the mundane or the uncanny and try to undress such social phenomena by intervening in some alchemical way (through magic or sorcery) . I’m going to Manila and Tokyo soon and eager to see how those cities will inspire.”

Everything is really just ‘smoke and mirrors’, which leads me to talk about the Smoke Cloud work, which were partly inspired by images of the recent Ferguson riots of people in protest standing in the middle of tear gas clouds. “Smoke and mirrors” is a metaphor for something that is deceptive or fraudulent, pretending to be something that it’s not.

  • 34. Michelle Lopez Video Installation • Birds and Windows – How do they relate? – We can see through windows…sometimes there’s a bird. Birds are FREEEEEEEDOOOOOOMMMM – Birds fly into windows….because they’re transparent. Because windex!! They’re deceived into believing that the window isn’t even there in the first place. – The window is “deceiving” the birds. It’s an ILLUSION to them. – Greek Grandma feeding the birds…but then one day she didn’t feed them and they crashed into the window. – Ryan crashed into the door at H&M…and security made fun of him. – Dealing with FAILURE: Give the world a STANK face. – To err is human. ..you gotta cry…and throw excrement at people – You may fail but you’ve gotta get back up (and hope it doesn’t smell) – You LEARN from failure. …but you still are mad and disappointed in yourself, shocked and chagrinned! . – Remember your failures BECAUSE…. • You don’t wanna feel that way again. • Use that failure as Motivation… .turn it into a learning experience.
  • 35. Michelle LopezVideo Installation • Birds and Windows – How do they relate?—POORLY. – Birds sometimes “bump” into windows (fly INTO windows. – Bird hit a building and it DIED. – Windex commercial….birds don’t realize that there’s even a window there in the first place. – There’s a REALITY that birds are oblivious to. By believing in the illusion, their necks get snapped and they DIE. – WE ARE THE BIRDS, oblivious to illusions and lies until . – Is it better to fly through the air as if there are NO windows to crash into? Or be so scared of crashing into windows that you never try to fly in the first place? – If fear takes over you, that will guide your path. – ‘waste of time’ not all rewards are immediately received. – Risk Averse – “You don’t wanna look back on life and think “what if…” – You don’t know what success is like until you know what failure is.
  • 36. Michelle Lopez in her studio in Bushwick Brooklyn “I think relevance and innovation are really important. I don’t think people though will tell you if your work is irrelevant or not innovative. I’d like them to.” What do you think it means to be “relevant” or “innovative?” Innovative: Taking something ordinary and making something NEW…doing something for the BETTER of the world. Clean energy cars (like TESLA!! Elon Musk) Relevant: To be important in TIME, SITUATION, Relevant things advance forward…irrelevant things get lost in the past. P8

RELEVANCY CONNECTS TO A SPECIFIC TIME/PLACE /ISSUE - IT’S NEEDED, IT’S NECESSARY. . P3
  • 38. ..Some of her work is a mix of mundane OBJECTS with maybe an uncanny MEANING. ..Lana ACTUALLY likes her!! Lopez draws on experiences that may be mundane to some or uncanny to others. .Uniting opposites …it’s quite innovative, with an unexpected outcome. .using TONS of different materials (questions what is art…) Sometimes she’s kinda mundane. . P8 Final Thoughts…
  • 39. The past two days everyone had something to say since it was related to them. Lopez’ work can be related to our lives because of our interpretation. Her work evokes serious and complex issues through something so simple. These conversations don’t work if you’re “immature” and not ready to face this issue (if you’re in denial. P3 Final Thoughts…

  • 52. Why do you think institutional spaces are designed the way they are? .Almost like jail: Closed in, not enough space, Not the happiest place on earth Basic, so you’re not distracted. You’re there for a PURPOSE. Bland Colors, neutral, not flashy, not bright. Consistent color design. TRADITIONAL – Orthodox, mundane, Intentional color work (light babyblue) but then it starts to fade and becomes kinda GROSS. Describe institutional spaces. School public, JAIL Hospital Old apartment buildings (hallways) Old folks home.
  • 53. Why do you think institutional spaces are designed the way they are? .Designed to be isolated .You usually only go inside if you have a reason to go in. Designed to contain something (books, people, forms, plants). Schools: meant SHOULD to make the student comfortable. Jails: no frilly designs Libararies: comfy chairs, wifi, Made SIMPLE: UTILITY. PURPOSE. 90 DEGREE ANGLES. IF YOU COMPARE SCHOOLS THAT ARE BUILT NOW, THEY’RE DESIGNED TOTALLY DIFFERENTLY: FRANK SINATRA SCHOOL. Describe institutional spaces. SOMETHING VERY REGULATED BY THE GOVERNMENT. JAILS PUBLIC USE (SCHOOLS LIBRARIES, COMMUNITY GARDENS, CITY HALL)
  • 54. David Scanavino Untitled, 2015 Linoleum tile “The museum is such a beautiful environment and I think more people should experience it, It should be really inclusive to all types of people, and it’s great when they encourage a younger generation to come experience the arts.”
  • 55. Ramifications (consequences) of these ideas? .increased curiosity from visitors. ….economical: museum may need to lower price$ in order to be more inclu$ive. .some Museums are expensive!! To give “more access” to people is empowering. They can explore new topics and learn cool stuff. It’s like a cycle! The more people involved, the more they encourage others to experience the arts. And it IS cyclical! Younger folks may be exposed to NEW stuff that they may not want to see? OR that they want to see. You’ve gotta see stuff that challenges you if you also wanna see stuff that you LIKE. If the art doesn’t challenge you, you may lose interest….you lose appreciation for it. “The museum is such a beautiful environment and I think more people should experience it, It should be really inclusive to all types of people, and it’s great when they encourage a younger generation to come experience the arts.” P3
  • 56. Ramifications (consequences) of these ideas? “Broaden the horizons” of the public - open up their plane of thinking. “How do you make EVERYONE feel included?” Have the OPPORTUNITY to see it…whether or not you like/dislike Variety in art helps, also easy to understand art. Free services (wifi, toilets) The higher the price of entry, the more affluent the people in the museum (thus, free-museum nights) Younger people can help “balance out” the museum audience. Make younger people more interested in museums..and not excluded. “a certain type of attitude at the museum.” HOW YOU CONNECT WITH THE ART. “The museum is such a beautiful environment and I think more people should experience it, It should be really inclusive to all types of people, and it’s great when they encourage a younger generation to come experience the arts.” P8
