[ISEA2004] Paper: Amanda Ramos & Michelle Kasprzak – Open Source City: Field Office

Abstract

Our interest lies in the way interactive art reorders both the visual and spatial regimes that have historically informed the museum and the gallery and the way this interactive space connects with the conditions of urbanism.

  • Amanda Ramos & Michelle Kasprzak are part of Field Office, a constantly changing collaborative team and environment that temporarily assembles itself based on project commissions.  Amanda Ramos and Kathleen Pirrie Adams initiated the Field Office collective and have primarily worked to develop curatorial, spatial, and event based strategies for multi-site exhibitions. For the past 3 years they have been asked by the Images Festival to produce their new media exhibition component – eleven to twenty five installations in over ten venues throughout the city. Kathleen and Amanda are now involved in commissioning projects such as Open Source City in which they are facilitating the distribution of the project and the  presentation of the work.
