| Title 1 Description: |
We manufacture our own catastrophes for our entertainment; it is the news of the day that we are participating in, a beautiful rush, the euphoria of when things go wrong, a stage for our collective loss of control. In an attempt to reclaim entertainment for art and to undermine the social and physical norms of separation and ownership for the beauty of skirting the line between de-differentiation (oneness) and separation (the other), this projection of the aesthetically manufactured catastrophe has been parading through our public areas, projected onto building facades or any suitable space from the inside of a discreetly parked kidnappers van. It will be the eyewash of the buildings, a momentary surface effect for our entertainment where our object-space is re-presented. The projection is of various blends between the American side of Niagara Falls, Tsunami waves, cloud systems, and tornadoes consisting of thousands of digitally animated people. Questioning the part to whole relationship, particularly of group mentality, we are intertwined with our surroundings and share the mutual necessity for loss of control to maintain a balance. Our conglomerate groupings can be seen as being part of many larger organisms or systems that we willfully and uncontrollably ride on, experiencing in varying macros and micros along the way. |

Cloudcapillar project is an ongoing theme in my installation/projection environments. Made up of shapes that elicit the slow bubbling movements of giant inflatable floats, these pieces are meant to be a mash of various cultural desires and entertainment balled into organic wind driven forms. |
