CALL FOR ARTISTS: ART UN-SCENE

L.A. museum curates "Art in the Streets"; we will put art IN the L.A. streets

Beginning on May 20, 2011 the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) in Los Angeles, California will be the unsuspecting site of Art Un-Scene, an exhibition of street art in Augmented Reality. Street artists and graffiti writers worldwide are invited to submit digital photographs of their work, which will be uploaded into AR-space around MOCA's location for free public viewing.

The exhibition will be "hidden in plain sight," unseen by the naked eye, and can only be viewed using a modern smartphone (iPhone, iPad2 or various Android devices) and the free Layar Augmented Reality Browser app. The AR exhibition will run in parallel with MOCA's curated "Art in the Streets" scene, but MOCA is not involved in any way with this event. We hope and intend that this AR exhibition will add much needed breadth and depth to the "official" story of street art that is being offered by MOCA's curators.

To submit your own work or to nominate another artist's work, email us at spaceliberation[at]gmail[dot]com.

Artworks will be placed in the AR layer known as freespace, an AR-space dedicated to free artistic expression. We the protagonists of the space liberation [movement] will ensure the works are placed in AR with respect and credit.
