The Global Lives Project is a collaboration of filmmakers, photographers, artists and everyday people working together to create a video library of human life experience.
This is the opening party for the world premiere installation of the Global Lives Project presented by YBCA; an innovative video installation capturing 24 hours in the lives of ten people from around the world who represent the diversity of the global population, on exhibit in the Room for Big Ideas through June 20, 2010.
Global Lives is collaborating with renowned designers and architects from FOURM design+build, Sand Studios and Ade, as well as experienced video installation producer, Barry Threw, and digital media artist, Rafael Alcala to create the world premiere exhibit and opening night installation at YBCA.
