The first thing that caught my eye as I entered Twice Removed , the multimedia exhibition at the Active Space, was a group of people aiming their smartphones at sculptures and drawings along the gallery walls. It is hardly uncommon to see gallery visitors targeting artworks as their next hot tweet these days, but using a smartphone as a conduit for viewing the artwork is more unusual. As a prerequisite for having the full experience of viewing the show, the Bushwick-based artist, Lauren Carly Shaw, handed visitors flyers that provided directions for downloading an app meant to heighten the viewer’s experience. Guiding me through the show, Shaw stopped in front of a large-scale figure drawing and extended her hands forward, trying to find the best angle for the app to recognize the object in order to trigger the animation. The tiny smartphone screen promptly showed how the gestural lines, drawn with graphite, charcoal and ink, grew into an outline of two human figures.
