15 LYNN HERSHMAN LEESON DANTE HOTEL IN SECOND LIFE, LIFE SQUARED 2007 Life Squared, 2007 edition of 3 Life Squared is a project that remixes Lynn hershman Leeson s three-decade plus archive inside a virtual setting of san Francisco s Dante hotel in as an animated archive, Life Squared becomes a museum of the future, as an experience in an online world--a prosthetic world of avatars, their buildings and goods raise numerous questions about contemporary experience and that which is real, synthetic, mediated, or technology as- sisted. Documenting the past, we propose, is to actively reshape and rework what remains (of the future). Life squared is a place where anyone, in the guise of an avatar, may encounter such a prospect - of revisiting and reworking the past, using Lynn hershman Leeson s artwork as content. This project is about building an experience in an online world, and it is also a research project investigating themes such as the following: How is a work of art such as a transient installation in a hotel room to be curated by a museum? how is an experience that takes no particular material form to be documented? Memory and document - memory practices and material archives - how they revolve around characters and architectures, stories, scenarios and game play. exhibited Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, S.F.
