This Exquisite Forest →
This Exquisite Forest is an intriguing and interactive art project from Chris Milk and Aaron Koblin, in partnership with Google and the Tate. Playing off the concept of the Exquisite Corpse, the piece is an evolving set of collaborative user-created animations that live on the web. From the Exquisite Forest website:
It makes extensive use of Google Chrome’s HTML5 and JavaScript support, as well as Google App Engine and Google Cloud Storage. A physical installation is located in the collection galleries on Level 3 at Tate Modern, and will be open for approximately 6 months beginning on July 23, 2012.
I think it’s great to see projects like this one — which push technological boundaries, raise questions about the participatory nature of art, and blur the lines between physical and virtual — acknowledged by one of the world’s premier contemporary art institutions.
