L.A RE.PLAY 
Co-curator with Mimi Sheller and Jeremy Hight,
lareplay.net

Utilizing the thriving, diverse, artistically vibrant and architecturally unique city as a living medium, the exhibition L.A. Re.Play will showcase emergent forms of mobile art that turn the city of Los Angeles into an exhibition space, a game space and a performance space.  Presented as a location-based mobile public art exhibition in February 2012, it will accompany the session presentations on Mobile Art: The Aesthetics of Mobile Network Culture in Placemaking, co-organized by Iverson and Sheller for the CAA 2012 conference.  Playing upon the dynamic relations between physical place, digital space, and mobile access via smartphone, the mobile artworks in the exhibit (along with the conference panels) will highlight the embodied performance of hybrid place and the social and collective politics of networked space. Hub location:  CAA conference center; Mechanics of Place workshop at CalArts; roundtable moderated by Jeremy Hight at Art Center.
