Hito Steyerl’s immersive 3D grid is modeled on motion capture studios,where body movements are recorded for use
in computer made imagery. The video on view within also features a motion capture studio. In that one, workers are forced
to dance in order to generate sunlight though they also dance as a form of resistance
to their datamined servitude. The video shifts between mock newscasts, drone footage,
nd personal narratives, moving between different levels of reality like a video game. Steyerl’s work hints at the Internet while also critiquing its use for exploitation.

MPA (b.1980; Redding, CA) has been immersed in a broad inquiry into the potential colonization of Mars, often as the red planet. Red in view unfolds in four movements throughout the Museum.
The exhibition begins in the lobby gallery and extends to the theater in February
for a culminating performance. Over the course of ten continuous days, MPA
and artists Amapola Prada and Elizabeth Sonenberg perform Orbit, living in the narrow space between windowpanes of the theater. The space becomes a sphere: an enclosed, self-sustaining habitat after an environment where the rst settlers
on Mars might reside.
