The @Platea Project

Ever wonder how a street performance would look like when it is moved to the Internet? This was a question that artist An Xiao asked, and you will get to see and experience first-hand how that would be like, soon within the next few days!

After a first "tw"erformance called "The Great Yawn", An is launching yet another public performance for all to participate, this time by the name of "Co-Modify". It is going to take place between May 3 to 9, on all social media networks for all those who want to take part. The project addresses the ubiquity of Internet advertising, and the extent of commodification that are happening in our lives. During the week, participants will endorse a brand or multinational company of their choice, and use their creativity to sponsor the products on their social media networks. If you'd like to participate, find out more on the @Platea blog and follow it on Twitter. Sign-up deadline is approaching!

To learn more about the artist, I have also previously mentioned another project of hers in conjunction with the brooklyn museum. Hope to see you during Co-Modify!!
