🔆All That Was Bright🔅
TAG 82 @ The University of West Florida
~Jan 12 – Mar 2, 2023 ~
Featuring the work of Basqo_, Jacob Reptile, Jane Tardo

Artist Talk Thursday, January 12 4pm, followed by Opening Reception 5pm-8pm.

Snake Tube Adventure Racing is a joyful and imaginative interactive art experience considering:

The documentation and preservation of the frivolity of contemporary living 🎉, competitive distraction 🏆, and joyful disassociation 🎮 during ecological collapse… 🌋

Join the dissociated climate-apocalypse competition, Snake Tube Adventure Racing, to explore obsessions with documentation, influence, and control. Or just roll with it 😀

The quilted dioramic installation, check-in booth, self-guided tour pamphlet, and giftshop represent and depict the reality forecasted for life on our compromised planet.

The work utilizes blended technology including robotics and digital projection, paired with sewn landscapes and soft sculpture.

The game-like experience seeks to prompt deeper consideration of the condition of disconnection and manipulation experienced within a society overseen by persuasive marketing and green-washing by mega-corporations.

Designed to be an interactive spectacle, the work is an absurd reflection on the frivolity of contemporary living, competitive distraction, and joyful disassociation during ecological collapse.

Participants are invited to choose their own snake and pilot it through 24ft of climate collapsed, dystopian, apocalyptic landscapes. With up to four players for each race, players may attach their cell phone to the Tube Car to record or livestream the experience for their fans.

In this dissociated climate-apocalypse competition, Snake Tube Adventure Racing explores obsessions with documentation, influence, and control using the lens of cell phones, humor, and playful indulgence.

Installation History:

Snake Tube Adventure Racing was set to open with much anticipation in March 2020, but was cancelled 2 days before due to pandemic shutdowns. It stayed locked inside the UNO St Claude Gallery for a year, being rescheduled and cancelled again and again.

Snake Tube was playfully known as “New Orleans’ longest running unseen exhibition” before finally opening with heavy covid restrictions in February 2021.

In October 2021 the second in the series, Haunted Hearse Snake Tube Adventure Ride debuted on the streets of New Orleans as a mobile interactive performative installation. The Haunted Hearse appeared once more in 2022.
