Orange Lounge

New Media Website and Online Exhibition Space

Orange Lounge is the Orange County Museum of Art’s online exhibition and new media resource.

This site was conceived and designed on the occasion of the opening of the museum’s Orange Lounge, Southern California’s New Media Space, at South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa. This is the first museum space on the West Coast devoted exclusively to the presentation and interpretation of video, computer and Internet-based art, audio works, and other forms of new media. The Orange Lounge is the only space of its kind located in a major retail complex.

In addition to online exhibitions, new media resources, and global news postings, this site features announcements about the exhibitions and programs in the Orange Lounge. Visit “In the Lounge” for further details and for directions on how to reach us.

The Orange Lounge website is designed by Amy Franceshini and David Lu of Futurefarmers, a new media collective. To learn more about this global collective, visit www.futurefarmers.com.
