My installation also included two videos running in a loop. One was a GPS video tour that was installed on a monitor and could be watched while on a Schwinn Exercise Bike installed in the gallery. Postwar abstraction for me includes relating Urban Renewal to the 1965 introduction of the first in-home exercise bikes designed to help you work hard, go no where, and see no one.
My video project asks: how can the new possibilities of GPS-based cultural tourism be used critically by artists? My project is a prototype for historically grounded, artist-driven conversations about, in this case, religious tolerance in America.
