Abstract

Mel Franklin Smith and Alexander James Pollard collaborated by makng three pairs of shoes featuring alien objects inbedded in/on them. The alien objects included parts of the Berlin Wall, other artworks made by American/Venuezuelan artist Meyer Vaisman and organic material such as slime mold. The shoes are presented on large concrete tombs that feature screens inbedded into their surface - the installation reproduced a "MUD" (multi-user-domain/dungeon). Featured on these screens were artworks by other artists, films uploaded onto YouTube and blank blue screens. The materials were listed as "authors" or "artists" in the show reproducing a flattened ontological environment in which the viewer became a participant.
