Sit down and play some video-games. or not. Coming soon to AOT ,

This project aims to involve the residency members as a whole while utilizing the space in a direct and digital manner. The basis of the project is to create a 'video game' interpretation of a digitally imposed show in a 3d modeld version of the AOT gallery space. The show will allow for a development of re-presented drawings and interpretations of the physicality of the AOT gallery space; and turn the physical space into a virtual space. This allows the virtual and physical space to intersect at the commonality of the projects presented within both entities. This installation then becomes a field for reflecting and re-staging the AOT space.

Summertime, summertime, sum, sum, summertime

Hello everyone.
This is Christopher E. Harrison. I will be participating in the Open Residency.

I'm a North Minneapolis resident and am active in the arts community, where I teach Media Arts at Henry High part-time, work as a Graphic Designer/Illustrator at a community newspaper part-time and serve on the Minneapolis Arts Commission. I've done some public art murals around town and fancy myself a abstract painter. Right now I'm taking a financial break from an online MFA program at AAU in San Francisco. In the meantime, I'm looking to nourish my muse with the residency and create something solo or collaborative that will inspire me as I hope to inspire others. Currently I've been making digital collages from found internet photos combined with abstract patterns that talk about power, media influence and social mores. The "Toaster Madonna" piece and other works are on mnartists.org/christopherharrison.
