http://ericwong.traspace.org Hotels/Motels 2003, was a multimedia event in which a number of visual and performing artists transformed the Travelodge hotel, in downtown San Diego. Each of the 30 rooms was engaged by artists in an unusual way, creating a series of portals into strange, thought provoking environments. The art included multimedia installations, painting, sculpture, photography, and mixed media. Some rooms had been be converted into alternative performance spaces for spoken word, performance, and music ranging from acoustic, punk, hip-hop, to the more experimental. Two rooms (in addition to the already reserved performances) were open venues to poets, bands, solo and acoustic musicians, activists and other creative individuals providing a PA and an open microphone to anyone was willing to be heard. In addition, the audience was encouraged, but not required to bring actual artwork, portfolios, writings of any kind, photo albums, project works on the side of the building, perform works in progress/site-specific, bring drums and other instruments, share monologues, songs, dance, and anything else that was in the works.
