In this video, collaborators Matthew Passmore (co-founder of Rebar) and Sean Orlando talk about the different facets of Urbanauts, an urban exploration project that merges fieldwork with installation. Through environmental expeditions, mappings, photography and sculpture, Urbanauts is a multi-layered investigation into the aesthetics, purpose and socio-cultural implications of hidden “systems” in the world around us.

Join the artists at the DeYoung Museum tomorrow, Friday, August 2! Enjoy an evening of talks, entertainment, art-making activities for kids and film screenings about the history of urban exploration.
