Photographs from the garden and Muir Beach cast onto a house during a garden party honoring Rachel Carson and her girlfriend Dorthy. We read their love letters and excerpts from "The Sense of Wonder." This event was the impetus for the proposed work at Mass Moca.
Analog versus digital. Nature versus destruction.
The battle unfolds on a giant cube, where analog devices casting natural landscapes compete with intermittent AI-powered digital projections of disaster. The convergence and clash of these visuals invite reflection on the fragility of our environment and the profound consequences of unchecked technological advancement.
First experiments with a paper cube and analog images of nature blended with found 16mm films. For the final work I will make my own films, and create transparencies from photographs of the local area. Also, the cube will be larger with more analog devices surrounding.
Recipient of a NYSCA and Buffalo Institute for Contemporary Art grants.
