Kurt Hentschläger: Zee
Chicago based Austrian artist Kurt Hentschläger creates performances and environments. The immersive nature of his work reflects on the metaphor of the sublime and the human condition.
Kurt Henschläger's Zee installation is being shown at New York's Future Perfect festival.
Houston Fence
The Houston Fence is a temporary outdoor installation on chain-link fences inspired by QR code barcode patterns. It is located at the intersection of Broadway and Houston in New York City, a crossroads notorious for its heavy traffic. The project was built as a result of a commission to improve fences put in place for a major street infrastructure construction project.
The project's blog can be accessed by mobile devices by means of QR code stickers placed on the fences.
The team behind the project is composed by Carolina Cisneros, Carlos J. Gomez de Llarena and Mateo Pintó, the same group that made the Fulton Fence previously.
Fulton Fence
The Fulton Fence is a temporary installation in Fulton Street, New York City on view through the spring of 2008. The project is a response to the effects of development; in particular the visual pollution created by the presence of construction sites in a small concentrated area.
The project is also online as a 'digital' site and is linked to the street intervention by signs that show a mobile barcode and a URL which can be accesed by any mobile internet-enabled device.
This website parallels the physical intervention in lower Manhattan, and explores the notion of "site" as both location and information such as the project's process, localized widgets, street history and visiting traffic statistics among others.
