Franklin Furnace’s Goings On
July 15, 2003
Two special Goings On for Wednesday, July 16th and Thursday July 17th.
1. Ricardo Miranda Zuniga, FF Alumn and Future of the Present recipient, presents NEXUM ATM at the Bronx Museum.
Hello:
I’m spreading the word on a new project that I’ve been working on, NEXUM ATM, it’s both an interactive installation and a web site, please check it out when you get a chance: http://www.nexumatm.us/
The installation will be on view at the Bronx Museum through Sept. 28th, as part of the AIM23 exhibition. The opening is on Wed. July 16th from 6:30-8:30 pm. If\ you’re around please stop by, you can find directions to the museum at: http://www.bxma.org/
NEXUM ATM, an interactive video piece in the form of an ATM, presents a history of US global imperialism toward ten small and largely poor countries. The ten countries represent a history of imperialism dating back to the 1820’s to the present. Nexum is the Latin word meaning getting out of debt through slavery. Accompanying the physical ATM is a web site: http://www.nexumatm.us/
The site is informational depository to contest the actions of the Bush administration by presenting information and links toward civil mobilization. The site features an atlas of intervention, the Nexum Anthem, interviews with individuals concerning the US’s global status. In September look for a second ATM installed at a free public location in NYC.
Thank you.
Ricardo Miranda Zuniga
