Carnival Interior

See more information about Carnival Interior
Carnival interior is an interactive installation creating a meditative 'sanctuary' that explores social interaction within a space utilizing a carnival aesthetic. The gallery space has been modified to create an entry point that would give visitors an immediate symmetrical view of the installation. A large, upholstered banquette is placed in each of the 4 corners that provides slightly reclined seating and keeps a viewers feet off of the floor in a manner similar to the seat of a carnival ride. A large "duck pond fountain" sits in the center of the room and contains wooden ducks that circulate around the pond. Large spinning wheels are mounted on 3 of the walls.

Plaza

See more information about Plaza
"Plaza" is an interactive installation included in "Light City Baltimore"2016 in Baltimore, MD made possible through funding provided by Baltimore Office of Promotion & the Arts. Plaza is a series of gate-like structures inspired by the architecture of carnival rides, old-school roadside signage, and the hypnotic and seductive energy of the Vegas-Style marquee. Adorned with blinking, chasing lights and colorful illuminated panels, the structures are arranged into a garden-like setting that suggests a sort of randomness, as if this temporary wonderland mysteriously appeared overnight. Plaza aims to function as a visual playground of architectural relics- one that invites viewers to stroll through and immerse themselves in colossal forms and pulsating light.

‘in a single drop…’ offers a visual and sonic mediation inspired by water offering common in Tibetan shrines. While the religious aspects of the practice are not featured, the notion of inviting presence and quietude by heightening awareness of self and space are very much at the heart of this installation. The sound of water dripping slowly into seven bowls is amplified and processed live to create a sonic memory of the real sounds, one that will sometimes seem distant and distorted.
Medium: Electronics, audio gear, water bowls, lights
