Nile Koetting (ACC 2023) started his 6-month fellowship in New York. Through cross-disciplinary production processes and collaborations, Koetting has produced installation using diverse media including performance, sound, and video. In recent years, he has developed immersive "performative installations" that include invisible materials such as air, scent, light, and sound, creating a new experience of work as a stage where the boundaries between the audience and the work are blurred. In this fellowship, Koetting will study “anti-art” movement centered in New York after World War I, where the search for cross-disciplinary expression began, and research the trajectory of cross-disciplinary expression up to the present day and its practices in the Web 3.0 era.
