Today Baradaran will announce his infiltration of the Louvre Museum with the permanent installation of his 52-second video performance streaming live over the image of Leonardo da Vinci’s portrait of Lisa Gherardini. Visitors of the Louvre and people looking at reproductions of the Mona Lisa anywhere will be able to download the smartphone application to view Baradaran’s "Frenchising Mona Lisa" starting today. At the gallery, there will be a streaming clip of the video as well as a static reproduction of the Mona Lisa so viewers with and without smartphones will be able to participate.
Also at the gallery, Baradaran will release the manifesto for FutARism in a live performance. Baradaran’s FutARism is a movement that seeks to explore the experiential, conceptual and legal shifts suggested by the advent of Augmented Reality within the modalities of contemporary art.
