Dia de los Muertos, Apocolyptica |
Medium: |
New Media, electronic waste installation |
Description: |
The multi-media installation consisted of a large projection onto a custom screen of found, broken, recycled electronics and discarded technologies. Objects were painted white and were hung to create a 3dimensional screen with image mapping. One huge paper mache head was created and hung in the projection area. The space below the projection was a sitting area, with several half-broken monitors and TV's fluttering images, static, and old video games, played by participants (now live media zombies) seated in the installation. The live game play was distributed to several screens and included into the video mix, projected on the custom screen above the installation and a second screen behind the main performance stage. Seven foam heads decorated with "Dia de los Muertos" stylized designs, rose from media and technologic waste pillars. Over 100 sugar skulls were crafted, displayed along the edge of the installation, creating a natural barrier for participants. After the event, participants were given the sugar skulls. Custom video, animation, and remixed Meso-American imagry was projected. This installation was featured exclusively at the Mother Earth Sound System annual Dia de los Muertos party. |

Pollination Station A native bee and insect wall |
Medium: |
Recycled, reclaimed and found objects. Some donated items from ReSource Yard. |
Description: |
Created from found, re-appropriated and resourced items, the Pollination Station was created to provide a living space for native stingless bees and other pollinating insects. The small stingless bees like to burrow into small holes, often finding refuge in walls, and dirt cliffs. By encouraging these micro-bees to live in urban areas we increase the pollination of urban gardens. This bee wall incorporates the aesthetics of ecology and urban remixing of recycled folk art with practical application of urban habitat development. |

Pet Peeve - Interrupted Meals |
Medium: |
|
Description: |
Half eaten food, interrupted meals, with loud ring tones and sharp voices. The modern world has penetrated our lives, and there is no greater pet peeve for me than having my meal interrupted by a cell phone, or by someone talking on a phone. Jane considers it rude to have your ringer on when dining. She would never answer her phone while eating, with company, and she would most certainly be offended if someone answered their phone while dining with me. It ruins the meal, interrupts it, and ends your appetite. Installation included my cell phone ringing, and vibrating making the audience interact with the art. This was her lunch. Partially eaten by Jane, until she rang. |

49 Shorts of Love now Lost |
Medium: |
Poetry, short stories, paper, bells, blue string, cell phone with ringer. |
Description: |
49 Shorts of Love now Lost is a collection of forty nine short stories depicting the demise of Jane's relationship with Edwin. This emotional installation uses 49 Bells hung from Blue Strings, resembling his Bright Blue Toyota FJ. Each bell represents a day of of homelessness for the artist and her son as they struggle to recover from a year of trauma. The installation featured the short stories with custom blue bell binding hung from a dead branch with a knife stabbed through the top corner of the book. Like a Fairy Tale landscape the bells around the edges of the tree lingered in the wind. If you looked closely below the Stories inscribed in the tree are the initials E + J within a heart. At the base of the tree, the artist placed her phone, with the distinct and specific ring tone of her Husband, which sounded like an alarm, announcing to the word the piece exists, encouraging the urgency to read the 49 Short Stories. |

Torture Chamber |
Medium: |
Interactive video installation |
Description: |
A room dedicated to collaborative/interactive torture. The Boulder Burning Man community helped me build a room dedicated to a torture theme for a special Burning Man party at the Gog in Denver October 2007. My concept was to create an interactive/participatory piece where participants would agree to be tortured on live camera to receive a cup. Victims would enter the room and request a drink from the bar. Above the bar was a live projection from surveillance cameras on the torture equipment. If the person could not provide their own cup, they would have to agree to be tortured live on camera to receive a cup. This would allow them opportunity to acquire a drink from the bar. We tortured those who did not come prepared to the event, by bringing their own cup. The live video feed was also available for vj's to mix with up-stairs on the main dance floor. And we had fun torturing participants who were less than self reliant. |

Featured at Burning Man 2007. We decorated and created an illuminated a mobile jelly fish atop our kinetic's craft. By building a dome over the top level built for the craft, we covered it with a parachute that was customized to create an illuminated upper level on this mobile 4 person pedal powered craft. Collecting scrap fabrics I sewed the hundreds of tentacles that hung from the bottom of the dome and provided excellent shade during the day on the craft. We incorporated LED spot lights and EL-wire into the night design of the mobile installation, as well as a small dj booth for mobile entertainment. |

Featured at the Heart Spring party 2005 in Denver. This interactive install was a collaborative piece built by Droid and myself. We used my Roland midi drum brain to configure 12 Piezos Transducers / pick-up mic's. These were used to trigger video and transmit sound surrounding the room. We utilized an old sculpture, covering it with white sheets, placing Piezos transducers on the sculpture with glow-in-the-dark bracelets around them. Then we wrapped the entire sculpture in bubble wrap so participants could see the glowing circles around the triggers and mic's.....party participants could then come and pop the bubbles and push on the bubbles to trigger the video and audio projected on three walls surrounding the sculpture. |
