Paula Lalala makes art that involves her own personal struggles to be human and an artist. Often it is a biographical exploration of her life experiences, which she then forms into interactive experiences for the viewer, whether that is a game, sensory environment or one on one interaction with her, the artist. The dynamic between artist, viewer and institutions designed to enable this dynamic are engaged here with her piece "Rarefied Air". Paula institutionalizes the Art Museum institution, the ultimate art world Overlord, by creating E.A.R., Enhanced Art Resources, A contemporary fine art manufacturing, research, and consulting firm. Paula simply walks into an art museum with a jar and captures its air, a entrepreneurial gesture that becomes the basis for her independent parallel institution. We are now brought into Paula's world, a place of engagement and self-made opportunity, where we as participants can learn to generate our own art experiences and challenge the Overlordian grip institutions impose on culture.
