The San Francisco Fine art Fair is the first major internationally-ranked fine art fair in The City for nearly a decade. Hundreds of Millions of Dollars of art was exhibited from May 21 to May 23. The wealthiest art collectors around came out to peruse future works to add to their collections and somewhere in the middle of it all was a good old fashioned game of MKDDR (Dance Dance Mortal Kombat). It may seem like an odd juxtaposition; people are there to buy art for exorbitant amounts of money. Whereas, my art is not for sale and it never can be, for it is a mashup of two distinct properties, each with their own well established copyrights. However, if we look at MKDDR the art piece, not the product, we see that it was not out of place at all. The SF Fine Art Fair entrance experience was curated by none other than Zer01. Zer01 sits at the intersection of art and technology and at the intersection of art and technology is where Dance Dance Mortal Kombat makes perfect sense.
