residency

Unfortunately, New Paltz is not yet frozen, so taking the sled out for a trial run was difficult.  I ended up snapping photos of the things in my pockets, and manipulating the image to look like they were taken with a film camera in a washed out environment.

This mobile studio provides an opportunity that photographers have never had previously.  This studio 'sled' allows for photographers to travel the wintery, frozen lands of this planet and document their findings. With both a storage drawer, and a white stage, this sled provides photographers with he perfect opportunity to travel and work simultaneously.

These are some of the basic plans I have been following for my sled design.

This is the beginning stages of fabrication!

Gyrobicupola

Gyrobicupola is an interactive collaborative experiment that bends space and time. Two stations are deployed at separate locations. The interactions with the station as well as the environment they are deployed in are recorded. Tracks from both stations are combined together to create an aleatoric collaborative performance.

Gyrobicupola

Today we deployed our two 'Gyrobicupola' prototypes in New Paltz.  The overall reaction we received from the public was overall underwhelming; however, the final product heard here:

More experiments and prototypes to come. 

Accumulation. I wanted to experiment with something that usually goes unnoticed. Screws are a structural support, that are generally hidden from view and ignored.  I realized that screws can be set in a piece of wood at different depths, so I wanted to explore what could be done with the change in depth. Using the same size screw I tightened them into the wood at different levels. The screws shifted from the ignored to the subject.  The small rectangle holds 384 screws, each row at a different height, increasing as they approach the middle.  Each screw represents a day during the Jewish year which runs on the lunar calendar. The height of each screw represents the events of the day, the taller scews being better days, the shortest being the bad days.  

accumulation?

Just an idea I've been playing around with...
