The Space Expanding Room: AFAAB in VR - The virtual Ant Farm Antioch Art Building is a digital space constructed from 1971 archival architect’s drawings. In this virtual space, avatars can meet, chat, graffiti, attend events, and make art, just as students were once able to interact in the real space, before it was abandoned in 2008. An AFAAB production. Concept, curating, and direction by Catalina Alvarez and Liz Flyntz. Construction and design by Ty Clapsaddle.
