“NO LAB” Exhibition by Cao Fei and Map Office

As a virtual flood sweeps over the city, avatars of individuals closely involved in the recovery effort appear, including Spike Lee, Barack Obama, Brad Pitt and Oprah Winfrey, who greet the visitor's avatar. The result is an environment comprised of the virtual and the real, in multiple variations, synthesized together. First shown in New Orleans, the exhibition is the first in Europe and only the second global viewing of the project. A vernissage is scheduled Jan. 17, 6:30-8:30 p.m. Both the exhibition and the vernissage are free and open to the public. For more information, contact SCAD exhibitions.
