WHO'S COUNTRY IS 
THIS ANYWAY?
 

THIS INTERACTIVE COMPUTER ART INSTALLATION,  BY BARBARA NESSIM, FEATURES A REMARKABLE COLLECTION OF DRAWINGS REPRESENTING THE MOBILITY OF ALL CULTURES. AN AESTHETIC BRIDGE, CROSSING EVERY GEOGRAPHICAL BOUNDARY, IS THE HIGHLIGHT OF THIS EXTRAORDINARY
SHOW. FOR CENTURIES  MIGRANTS HAVE TRAVELED THE EARTH, FLEEING, SEEKING, AND ROAMING OUR VAST PLANET, BUT NEVER IN HISTORY
HAVE WE BEEN SO MOBILE.  MODERN METHODS OF TRAVEL AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS HAVE ALSO EXPANDED OUR AWARENESS OF ALL CULTURES. THE UNDERSTANDING, OF DIVERGENT BACKGROUNDS, IS NOW PARAMOUNT, AND NECESSARY FOR OUR MUTUAL SURVIVAL!  THIS EXHIBITION'S CORNER STONE CONSISTS OF A CONSTANTLY GROWING DATABASE OF DRAWINGS, WHICH REPRESENTS THE INCESSANT INTERNATIONAL POPULATION GROWTH. DRAWING VARIATIONS, INCLUDING OVERLAYS OF NATIONAL FLAGS, CELEBRATE OUR GLOBAL COMMUNITY. THESE DRAWINGS ARE RANDOMLY SELECTED BY AN INTERACTIVE COMPUTER, WHICH IS CONTROLLED BY THE VIEWER. THE END RESULT IS A UNIQUE MINIBOOK OF DRAWINGS, WITH A FLAG COVERED TITLE PAGE, TO BE TAKEN HOME BY EVERY INDIVIDUAL FOR FREE, WHO ATTENDED THIS EXTRAORDINARY SHOW. ALSO INCLUDED ARE INTERACTIVE COMPUTER GENERATED BOOKS, SIX LARGE SCALE FLAGS,
3-D VIEWERS
(FOR A STEREOSCOPIC WALL MOUNTED PRESENTATION), PLUS 12 MID SIZE RELATED WORKS. IF
YOU WANT AN EXTREMELY POPULAR EXHIBITION,
THEN THIS IS SHOW FOR YOU!
