Enjoyed attending an iLand Seminar this summer hosted by LMCC. I am a big fan of the founder of iLand, Jennifer Monson. I was thrilled to find this picture of me talking with her during the workshop outside in the East River Park near the East Broadway stop.
Includes a good shot of the piece. Thanks Coach.
Mitch and I are pleased to be a part of the summer residency at the Wassaic Project, June-July 2014. It is a beautiful place with great people. Very happy to be here.
I presented a paper at a conference at Babes-Bolyai University in Cluj, Romania in May. The conference was called Bodies in Between: Corporality and Visuality from Historical Avant-garde to Social Media. My paper addressed augmented reality projects that ground the participant in her body. Mitch came with me. We had a wonderful time and met many fantastic people. We definitely want to return to Romania.
My new short animation, Countach Belfort (2m), is included in the Last Brucennial (2014), 837 Washington Street. The piece is a sketch – my attempt to think through my distress about the ease with which white collar criminals, like Jordan Belfort, free themselves from sentencing and restitution. In the Brucennial, my animation hangs right below a work by Carla Gannis. Hi Carla.
In March, Rachel Stevens and I led four augmented reality workshops at the NY Harbor School, a unique public high school focused on marine careers and marine biology located on Governors Island. The students designed place-based monuments to their unique learning experiences on the island. To make and locate the virtual monuments we used the Blender software (open-source 3D modeling and animation) and Aurasma studio. Since we ran into a number or technical snafus, we plan to offer improved versions of the workshops at the school again in the fall of 2014.
