Media: Video installation, Digital, Performance Art
A Collaboration between Nakaochiai Gallery in Tokyo and Triple Base Gallery in San Francisco. Julia Barnes is taking Nakaochiai Gallery to the streets of Tokyo, where she'll broadcast your dreams, wishes and imaginations Live to and from San Francisco via the Internet.
Crust&Dirt at Triple Base Gallery in San Francisco will connect to Nakaochiai Gallery in Tokyo using wireless laptops with iSight Web-cameras. The laptop is left standing anonymously on the street with a sign attached saying, "Instant Drawing Machine; You ask, We draw." So far this collaboration has taken art to the streets of Tokyo and Shanghai where Crust&Dirt, wearing masks, entice people off the street to have their pictures drawn. Within minutes, peoples imaginations, drawn by Crust&Dirt, are hanging at Triple Base Gallery in San Francisco. Requests are as diverse as boxing kangaroos and Micheal Jackson. The Nakaochiai Gallery will debut the Instant Drawing Machine at Western Exhibitions Gallery in Chicago, USA on April 30th 2005. In the mean time, keep your eyes peeled for Crust&Dirt and the Instant Drawing Machine on the streets, and projected on the walls of Tokyo.
