The Animal Crossing player is a complete success in the art world

Shaking Yin Khor is a real life installation artist who see the impact from the novel coronavirus on their work: All their events are canceled for the foreseeable future, as many museums close their doors to the public. Instead, they turned Animal Crossing: New Horizons making fun of the art world, creating a rival art museum for Blather's setup.

"I would like to be a recruiting artist hired in real life, not at Animal Crossing, but all my values ​​and events are currently canceled," Kor told Portgon in an email. (We considered doing this in-game in-game, though Crossing the Animals: New Horizons& # 39; The text is annoying.) "I'm pretty sure I'm using Animal Crossing as a place to go now but the art world has many tree branches that adorn their collective cattle, so I'm happy to comment and make fun of it within this mini-game."

Kor's stones have been used to redesign Robert Smithson Spiral Jetty on their island they have included Animal Crossing's translation of Barbara Kruger & # 39; s No title – "Your watches are a battlefield." Scatter some umbrellas at sea to imitate Christo and Jeanne Claude & # 39; s Umbrellas, again. (Korh also noted that they are very respectful and enjoy all the fun they have.)

But one of the most engaging pieces with Khor is the fun of Marina Abramović The artist is still there.

"Marina Abramović & # 39; s The artist is still there is one of the best qualities of perseverance and artistry, and light tables and light wood are easy to do, and it was well worth it, ”says Kor. "Thank goodness, she's wearing a red dress."

Kor opened their island on Tuesday and wrote the Dodo Code on Twitter. Soon, the museum's activists began broadcasting inside – a steady stream of people coming for an hour. Khor sat and waited inside the house, dressed in Abramović's red dress. They estimate about 20 guests coming to the island in an hour, with 15 or so people making a seat. Dodo Airlines flights almost stopped; people flying in. (Nintendo's multiplayer system is annoying – it does so long to connect, especially when more people come.)

"It was probably not the most exciting thing, as Dodo Airlines flights are constantly popping up and people are leaving, but it may have doubled the results of standing in line at a small museum," they said.

Khor said they liked doing some of the pieces inside Crossing the Animals: New Horizons – After all, they will have to continue the competition with the Blows & # 39; museum. In the meantime, they are working to bring back Chris Burden & # 39; s Urban Lighting – "It is selfie magnets in front of the LACMA, ”said Kor – collecting street lights.

“I really enjoy the limitations of Animal Crossing, and that there are important limitations to what you can build. It was fun to think of things that could fall within these limits, ”they said. “My actual input work is not digital. I play extensively with electronic items such as capsule machines, and take a closer look at the cabinets of the finest materials – lots of warm wood and incandescent light as well as lots of interactive items and small details that you can take to explore. ”
