Artist Anthony Dexter Giannelli took over Mata's Instagram for the month of August 2023! He concluded his takeover with a recorded online artist talk on Mata’s YouTube channel and interactive IG Stories Q&A on the weekend of September 1-3, 2023.
For Anthony's exhibition, he wanted to provide as little context as possible so that viewers would be able to experience the reality of his disability with limited outside influence. In his Instagram takeover, he compared the 3D environment he created with its real-world setting, and showed viewers how the alterations lent more accurate depictions of his past and present realities. |
