OPERATION JANE WALK AT 59th ANN ARBOR FILM FESTIVAL

In Operation Jane Walk, the digital war zone of a video game is appropriated with the help of artistic intervention. The urban flâneurs avoid the combats and become peaceful tourists of a digital world, which is a detailed replica of New York City.

Accompanied by two guests the audience watches the performers promenading the digital battleground, exploring the possibilities (and impossibilities) of new media technologies. While walking through the post-apocalyptic city, issues such as architectural history, urbanism are being discussed.

The performance will be streaming free of charge as a part of the 59th Ann Arbor Film Festival.
