Together with a group of artists, Viola hacked herself into the Museum of Modern Art NYC using A.R. app LAYAR, which afterwards officially got added to the MoMA’s program.
During the presentation she will show several examples of (tech) art, robots and activism.
One of the goals to show worldwide professional artists active in the field of Security, Privacy and Hacking, but also build bridges between artists and hackers, and to (hopefully) take away previous experiences in seeing bad art and amateur art.
