Current Exhibitions 
at the Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art


Current Exhibition: Carla Gannis - WWWUNDERKAMMER
When: May 19, 2023 - July 15, 2023
Where: Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art

In wwwunderkammer, Carla Gannis aims to decolonize the Wunderkammer (and by extension—the museum) by using various technologies to conflate the real and the virtual. Her exhibition wwwunderkammer is a real-world manifestation of her ongoing project of the same name, which exists online via social VR on Mozilla Hubs and in a high-resolution desktop VR. The ongoing project consists of different “chambers” that focus on specific aspects of our contemporary life, such as increasing threats to our environment and animals in it, how technologies alter our perception of ourselves, and how our language has shifted with the advent of the internet and advanced computers. The gallery installation will use augmented reality to obfuscate what seems real and what does not. These strategies help Gannis explore what it means to be a human in the age of the internet while also endeavoring to make information and knowledge accessible to all.
