Pollination Station
A native bee and insect wall

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.

with featured portraits of friends, family and the curious passer by. Live imaging and portraits at CU's Visual Arts Complex in 1B32 Installation Space. The space was perfect, just a few hundred feet from the darkroom where Jane was able to develop all the images that were created during the portrait event.

Junk Jam

Recycled, handmade instruments made by John Beacher and [JanedaPain] as part of a RUST-E and Resource Yard project for the Earth Hour 2010 party to honor the grand opening of the new Resource Yard location on East Arapahoe Road in Boulder. As a part of the International Earth Hour celebration Jane created several experimental instruments to promote a community jam during the hour of "lights out" and this is what we created, a magical musical experience. Thanks to Resource Yard and John Beecher the event and the instruments were a huge success.

Pet Peeve - Interrupted Meals

CU-Boulder, UMC Cafeteria

Pet Peeve - Interrupted Meals

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
2008.September.03 @ CU Boulder

love now lost installation

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.

Letters Past Due

lost letters

A collection of lost letters that have been written to 30 recipients. The piece emphasizes the emotional response we all have to the letters we all need to write, or letters we need to send, the avoided process, and emotional ties. The piece demonstrates and captures the intense emotions and details the story, through video captured, and remixed. The video is approximately 33 minutes and was projected on the letters, which were sewn together. A digital, yet tangible series of lost letters by Janedapain

Torture Chamber
2007.Oct.28 @ The Gog

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.

Jelly Fish
2007.Aug.25-Sept.3 @ Burning Man 2007

jellyfish

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.

Entheon Village @ Burning Man 2007

Working with my good friend Vj Videolicious we projected on 8 hexigonal screens in a 90' dome. It was about the best visual experience I've ever had. I loved projecting over hundreds of people during this weeklong event.

2005.June.03 @ Cyborg

Featured at the Cyborg party 2005 in Denver. This interactive piece was built by myself using a large satellite dish that I projected onto with multiple projectors and I also built a corner display of monitors that re-transmitted the stream of media that commented on the pollution of the earth and natural spaces.

Interactive Bubble Wrap
2005.Feb. @ The Gog

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.

Mobile Projection Unit
2004.Nov.13 @ Fiske Planetarium

Featured at the Off World party Fiske Planetarium two mobile projection units used to project on the multiple space craft models in the planetarium. Mobile units were also used to project on the dome of the planetarium, a collage with the larger visuals for a multiple video experience.

Spherical Astro-projections
2004.Oct.23 @ Wacky Shack

Featured at the Wacky Shack DeKUMpreSHUN 2004. Using three large weather balloons I set up multiple projectors to project on the balloons and create some warping of the video as it wrapped around the spheres.

Nebula
2004.Oct.08 @ The Gog

Featured in 2004 at the Denver, Burning Man Decompression Unlocking the Vault, held at the Gog. The installation built on the top floor in the corner of the room, had a 50' x 30' translucent/opaque plastic screen. Behind the screen LEDs blinked and shined through, representing stars in the night. Black light reactive fibers filled the space. Fog rolled around creating a nebula like feeling, images of space were projected onto the translucent screen. The installation represents my interest in space and media.

Image Node @ Burning Man 2004

During Burning Man 2004, I helped build the Image Node camp, and I created visual art for projection on the dome walls. I helped solder LED's for our custom interactive art, and gave tours to camp visitors.
