I'm going to the tar pit

The latest in a continuing series of experiments in activating physical space with online art, Reverse Tar Pit first bubbled up for a hybrid in-person opening reception x online exhibition at ONX Onassis Studio. Like any good zombie that won’t stay down, RTP returns with three days of programming including audio/sound performances, video screenings artist book readings, a closing reception, and hacked robot karaoke to explore the breadth of the work included within the online exhibition.

Featuring hybrid digital art by Indira Ardolic, Delta_Ark, Itziar Barrio, Christopher Clary, Eva Davidova, Varkito Garcia, Don Hanson, Benny Lichtner, Kristin Lucas, Joe McKay, Cezar Mocan, Patrick O'Shea, Mark Ramos, Sarah Rothberg, Kat Sung, Jeremiah Teipen, Lee Tusman, Sammie Veeler and Rosalie Yu.
