Joseph DeLappe’s Gandhi at Eyebeam Part of the exhibitions: Tourists and Travelers: New Commissioned Works by Artists Taeyoon Choi and Joseph DeLappe Eyebeam
It is difficult not to notice the massive Gandhi peeking from Eyebeam’s window on 21st street. Resident artist Joseph DeLappe created the 17 ft cardboard sculpture from a 3-D model of Gandhi’s online avatar, Mgandhi Chakrabart. The work is shown in conjunction with DeLappe’s project The Salt Satyagraha Online, in which he reenacted Gandhi’s epic 240-mile Salt March to Dandi in the online game Second Life using a treadmill connected to a laptop.
