New Media Public Art

From: Artkrush

Public art organizations with an eye on new media are using surprising commissions to combat the longstanding cliche of public artworks as oversized sculptures stranded in empty plazas. Creative Time and the Public Art Fund in New York and Artangel in London are weaving video projections, websites, and interactive installations into the urban fabric. Often spinning filmic narratives about city dwellers, these projects resonate with viewers and forge a closer connection between art and the public.

new media envrionmental artists = terrorist hoax'ers. I can't believe this blog would endorse such reckless use of batteries and wires, and/or potentially non-water based paints.

Speaking of public art & weaving outdoor projection and narrative/performance, check out MOMA's current Doug Aitken exhibition:
