Re:CreateArt.org

A website for a new kid of art installation which alters the standard conceptual framework between the artist, the visitor and the artwork. By engaging with each visitor in a visual dialogue, Saj draws the visitor into a very personal, collaborative art experience with the artist herself. As for the panels, they resist completion and continually change in a process of re:creation.

Re:Create implicitly connects with the times. It is tethered to the truism that our experiences aren’t static and our new digital tools give every person a voice. The varied iterations of any single panel over the course of this exhibition throw some shadows on the walls. They caution that images and messages can be altered and – by extension – distorted to reflects the biases of the collaborator.

Visitors are encouraged to post their work on Instagram using the hashtag #RECreateAtUM. A continual feed of co-created art works posted on Instagram is maintained in the gallery for the duration of the exhibition.
