Professor d’Agostino exhibits World-Wide-Walks

The Walk Series: Roof Walk (1973), by Professor Peter d’Agostino, FMA, is currently on exhibit at the Wattis Institute for Contemporary Arts, California College of the Arts, San Francisco, continuing to July 2. Initiated in 1973 as video documentation/performances, the World-Wide-Walks evolved into video/Web projects combining elements of natural, cultural and virtual identities: mixed realities of walking through physical environments and of virtually surfing the Web.

During April, the World-Wide-Walks/between earth & sky/Temples installation was exhibited at Tyler School of Art, Temple Performing Arts Center, and Crane Arts Old School, Philadelphia. These video walks were performed in Italy, Egypt, India, Peru and the U.S., including the Baptist Temple, Philadelphia. It was produced with support from the Pew Trusts, American Academy in Rome, Temple University Arts Commission and the School of Communications and Theater.
