On Thursday, November 15, the Urban Video Projet debuted its new UVP Mobile unit as part of the opening festivities for the Warehouse Gallery’s show, “Wildernes 24/7″, featuring the work of the collaborative, ecoarttech.

The Urban Video Project is an initiative funded by The Connective Corridor.

UVP Mobile projected the video Wilderness Collider onto the south facade of the Warehouse from 6:00-8:30pm. Wilderness Collider featured video compiled from past users of ecoarttech’s Indeterminate Hikes+ app.

The artists led participants on a hike through the wilds of Syracuse with the help of their Indeterminate Hikes+ smartphone app using the projection as their point of departure.

Indeterminate Hikes+ is a mobile media app that transforms everyday landscapes into sites of bio-cultural diversity and wild happenings. The app works by importing the rhetoric of wilderness into virtually any place accessible by Google Maps and encouraging its users to treat these locales as spaces worthy of the attention accorded to sublime landscapes, such as canyons and gorges.

The Warehouse Gallery is located at 350 W. Fayette St., ground floor, Syracuse, NY 13202

About the Artists
Leila Christine Nadir and Cary Peppermint founded ecoarttech in 2005 to explore modern ecological being amidst networked environments, from biological systems to digital networks. Merging primitive with emergent technologies, ecoarttech’s work investigates the overlapping terrain between “nature,” built environments, mobility, and electronic spaces.
