CONCEPTUAL PROJECTS

 
WEB 021. . ., 2007
An interactive walking tour

Web 021. . . is an interactive walking tour of the real "social web" using 2D barcodes, graffiti stickers, and cellphones. Web 021. . . invites the participant to reflect on the combination of technology, economics, politics, and fantasy that produce the actual experience of a place, as well as the forces that attempt to sell it back to you.

SILENT MOVIE/FLUXUS PIECE, 2005
Javascript, 3 min.

Old media, new forms. Just the title cards, as Javascript alerts. Link opens in new window.






AUDIENCE, 2005
Interactive video/sound performance, 5 min.

Audience asks: what if the movie is watching you? Performed to a soundtrack of movie theater seats, a camera is placed discreetly at the front of the theater and the audience is filmed in low light, and projected onto the screen in real time. When Audience was presented at Coolidge Corner Theater, in Brookline, MA, in 2005, and the audience realized they were onscreen, they did "the wave."






COVERS, 2004-ongoing
Photographic installation/infestation

Covers plays with the techniques of sampling from music and imports them into the visual space. Covers places a Polaroid of the thing, on the thing, collapsing the representation and the object into a single view, and distinguishing the operational layers of both. Also, they're funny.

Previous Covers have been in various indoor locations around Boston. Future Covers will come out.




APPLES, 2004
Street installation, Oderbergerstr., Berlin

Apples. On fishing line. Hung from non-apple trees up and down streets in my neighborhood. A dialogue between New England and East Berlin.
