IDIA has been commissioned to design and build a virtual presence and artworks for the upcoming Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum at Michigan State University. The physical Museum in East Lansing Michigan, designed by architect Zaha Hadid, is slated to finish construction in Spring 2012. Museum Director Michael Rush commissioned Fillwalk and the IDIA to envision and curate a dynamic program of exhibitions and events including virtual installations, visiting artists, lectures and even artist studio space for the Virtual Broad Art Museum project (VBAM). Fillwalk’s works in collaboration with IDIA will be exhibited in the inaugural premiere of the project scheduled for late Fall 2011. The Institute is also working with project co-director and IDIA Lab fellow Adam Brown, MSU to virtualize one of his current works to be included in the VBAM program. IDIA is developing the project in the game engine of Unity 3D which will allow the virtual world to be experienced entirely within a web browser. Next steps include augmented reality and mobile art applications for future VBAM projects.
