Hello, My Name is TAM

Wed, 21 Jul 2010 21:34:50 +0000

A site specific, multi-channel audio/visual installation in the Grand Rapid Public Museum's former location on Jefferson Avenue. Using the museum's Transparent Anatomical Model and original audio script, we create an immersive environment that contextualizes the TAM in the history of female anatomical models, images of which we project on scrims opposite the figure. Viewers are invited to step up on a pedestal that faces the TAM in order to listen to the accompanying audio script and at the same time position themselves within the historical narrative. Collaboration with Kerstin Barndt. Software engineering by David Rueter.

Walking Sky 1

Wed, 21 Jul 2010 21:47:41 +0000

Images of the sky taken every day in the same place over 30 days are projected onto the floor for 24 hours each. Accompanying text is projected on the wall above at 5 minute intervals. These images and texts are the remnants of meditative walks. Through this juxtaposition I seek to illuminate the discrepancy between what the eye perceives and what the conscious mind produces.

Fri, 28 Aug 2009 23:47:46 +0000

"Passage" was created in the corridor of a university building following "Cocoon". Made of pink fleece fabric with the soft side facing and rubbing against participants. As the fabric is suspended and loosely stretched the entire piece sways and gives as someone walks through. Behind the fabric are motorized lights that oscillate, creating the illusion that the tunnel pulses.
