Searching for Higher Ground | New Museum, New York

Overview

“Searching for Higher Ground” is a Video Piece filmed and performed by Minam Apang and Nivedita Magar for Lee Walton’s “Remote Instruction” Piece exhibited at the New Museum of Art, New York.

Lee Walton writes, “From my home, I collaborated with strangers via the web to direct a series of video performances. Over the course of one year, I collaborated with over 20 different people in multiple countries. The performances took place in cities, neighborhoods, villages and towns around the world.”

This project by Minam Apang and Nivedita Magar explored the effects (and power) of media in relationship to communication, geography and social collaboration.
