Participate in Project with Artist Viviane Le Courtois

Denver Art Museum creative-in-residence Viviane Le Courtois’ Global Thinking Pod is now installed in the exhibit Audacious: Contemporary Artists Speak Out. This is not the first thinking pod the artist has designed and built for an art setting. It is, however, the first thinking pod to rely heavily on the contributions and help of visitors. For several weeks Le Courtois collected material donations of yarn, wool, and hair from visitors in preparation for her opening day on April 5.

Hacker Mar Williams Discusses Technology, Art & Identity (Video)

Mar Williams' installation at the Denver Art Museum is playful and interactive, yet the creative-in-residence wants visitors to ask questions about the role of technology in their lives. In this video, Williams shares the big ideas that inspired the "Feed the Animal" installation, among these is the question: How can we create an emotional response to our personal data or "online" identity? The technology involved in the installation is being developed over the course of this residency.
