This year’s DocLab opened with a video message from the Commander in Chief of the United States, but not the current one; speaking from his desk at the White House in 1969, President Richard Nixon held forth about the state of the arts and the future of technology.
“The theme is ‘Domesticating Reality,’” explains Sonnen. “In short, it’s about exploring how the technologies we create then shape us, which is an idea we borrowed from our friend [visual artist] Jonathan Harris when he was here a couple of years ago.” This is the third year, Sonnen explains, of a kind of triptych, one that’s looking at the nexus of human behavior and digital technology. “We started to explore that theme,” he continues.
This led to the search for a new home. “We had to start looking for a bigger location,” he says, “and as we started to look at different types of locations, we realized that there’s not one specific exhibition context that fits the extreme variety of types of experiences that you see in the interactive and immersive field. They range from an interactive audio walk in public spaces, to an installation in someone’s living room, to a film in a cinema.
As a result, perhaps the most unusual aspect of this year’s DocLab is the decision to take over several units at Central Station, in a hallway underneath the railroad tracks. “It’s not the kind of place where people are looking to experience art,” says Sonnen. “They’re more likely looking for a way to avoid all the advertising that’s there.
