Artist Dialogues IV: Creating the Virtual Exhibition for BIM’24
With: Peter Wu+, EPOCH Gallery
Peter Wu+, founder and creator of EPOCH gallery, creates virtual worlds that are artworks, using the potential of simulation to uncover, dive deep into, and illuminate aspects of practice and artworks that could not be easily accessed in a physical installation. For BIM’24, Peter created a wide-ranging, rigorous virtual exhibition for viewers who will never get to Geneva – or those who do, and will want to revisit works. Wu+ models the streets of Geneva and the Centre d’Art Contemporain in a sci-fi inflected future, using a series of interpretive lenses, moving far away from 1:1 replication to tweaking, expansion, and deepening of the context found in the physical exhibition. The virtual and digital are never secondary, but instead original, primary spaces, where the 15 artists of BIM’24 can be experienced altogether differently. We are able to slow down, and listen, and look at work more closely. Wu+ will discuss his process, his conversations with the BIM’24 artists, his consideration of the building’s architecture, and what he learned along the way, walking the audience through A Cosmic Movie Camera from a bird’s eye view.
