Here we are working on the We Are Magic, collaborative sculpture, polishing it up for two upcoming traveling exhibitions. We are, Alicia Eggert (design, fabrication, organization) James Akers (myself- making the neon and designing some), Jason Mishou (designing the generative animation and hardware), and Marco Buongiorno Nardelli (designing the generative sound). The four of us met at Alicia's studio in Denton, Texas to work all in the same room. Its actually the first time we have all met up, and its been a real treat!
Maybe you don't get the sense in the video, but there are numerous instances of feeling like it cannot crescendo any more, and it still does- until it doesn't. The installation is activated by touching the hand pedestal, and holding hands with someone else touching the other hand pedestal.
Next stop, Urbanglass NYC!
