Second Life/Lynn Hershman Leeson

From AotN Wiki

Jump to: navigation, search

In the early seventies, Lynn Hershman Leeson created a work in a room at the Dante Hotel in San Francisco. We will watch a video and teleport to the hotel created by Henrik Bennetsen.

A hotel room is a good example of the value of forgetting.

Every morning a hotel room is cleaned and scoured to remove all traces of what happened there the night before.

But this is the Dante Hotel. In Dante's Inferno nothing is forgotten. Even the most evil person burns for all eternity.

Thus the fictional events of a night at Dante Hotel may be the only thing of this hotel that exists (is archived) far longer than any of us.
