#LarsonShindelman #Mobilize

We visited this exhibition at the George Eastman Museum in Rochester NY yesterday. Nate Larson and Marni Shindelman who work collectively as Larson Shindelman, use publicly available GPS information embedded in social media to track the location of user posts and then travel to the location to create a photograph that both marks the physical place and reacts to the content of the original post. This exhibition draws on trending hashtags in Rochester to identify themes relevant to the community. It's an interesting concept and gets a thumbs up from me for being political.
