Description

Lest We Forget is a three channel video sculpture depicting real-time climate change data using a newly developed technique called perspective mapping. The technique exploits the basic property of bare LCD screens which do not show video without a light source due to the layered linear polarizer sheets. Adding light sources behind the screens reveals the content and effectively maps the video content of the screen onto the light source if the observer aligns it correctly with their viewpoint.

Description

BETULARIA uses polarity and hiding to challenge a player's sense of awareness.

The player must adapt to a changing environment by maintaining invisibility both to themselves and their predators.

This game was inspired by the studies conducted of the peppered moth (Biston betularia) over the past two hundred years.

Description

The Amazing Interactive Memory Machine (AIMM) is a site-specific vending machine that dispenses memories. Placed on the Coney Island boardwalk, visitors are invited to choose a memory by pressing a button. With each press, listeners have a new opportunity to hear stories from other New Yorkers, stories about things that have changed or that persist despite change. At the conclusion of each story, a souvenir receipt prints out. Listeners can contribute to the machine by calling and leaving their memories on a voicemail system. AIMM offers a personal perspective of an historical place and an opportunity for unexpected experiences.
