Freepoint Hotel
Boston Cyberarts is pleased to have curated new digital art for the Freepoint Hotel, a boutique hotel in Cambridge. The Freepoint commissioned two one hour long digital animations to be projected daily for two years starting in April 2017 by Boston artists Dennis H. Miller and Mark J. Stock in it’s new lounge, the Freepoint Kitchen & Cocktails by Matthew Gaudet. The Freepoint and Boston Cyberarts were introduced by the Cambridge Arts Council who is programming other local art throughout the hotel. The hotel is located at 220 Alewife Brook Pkwy, near the Fresh Pond Reservoir.
Analect by Dennis H. Miller is a colorful symphonic exploration of shapes weaving in and out of each other. Mark J. Stock’s fluid | plastic is a softer mediation on f dynamic fluids wherein words rise up through the liquid plastic goo only to sink back down.
