Parsons Fine Arts MFA student Liliana Farber has received The Network Culture award for her app art Blue Vessel at the Stuttgarter Filmwinter Expanded Media Exhibition, Germany, February 2018.Blue Vessel is a mobile web app that takes the user on a digital voyage across uncharted waters. Hosted on a server located on a flagless ship drifting on international waters, the app invites users to write anonymous web messages by selecting words solely from the book “Robinson Crusoe” by Daniel Defoe, and learning survival skills from a chaotic browser that decomposes itself with each scroll movement.
