Hotel
Happiness is an interactive online exhibition inhabited by artworks and
commissioned writings. Initially the show takes the form of a website for a
fictional hotel, the viewer is then led via a link to the online 3D hotel, a
navigable space hosting the artworks that the guests can explore.

From
an Executive Penthouse to a Honeymoon Love Suite and a Back to Nature Retreat,
viewers can visit five themed rooms from different worlds. Drawing from the
current importance of access to the online world, the exhibition echoes the way
the internet flattens everything to exist in one space. Taking advantage of the
incongruous existence of hotels under the current situation, the virtual show
considers how tourism reifies ideas of place, retreats and travel and the
construction of subjectivities through objects, images and spaces. Whilst
visiting the hotel viewers will encounter the works of 23 artists in various
mediums such as video, painting, photograph, sculpture and fictional writings,
including a tour in the form of an audio guide.
