The gallery space has been transformed into a lounge area where those who have made the transition into the space can watch others do the same. It is not until the viewer gets into the lounge space that s/he becomes aware that the entire experience is being broadcast onto a large, semi-transparent, double-sided screen in real time for all to see. At the far end of the lounge is a cast iron keyboard with an accompanying soundtrack that continuously loops the sounds of typing and, periodically, of a phone ringing. |

Puff . Mixed media installation. 2008. (in progress) The viewer enters the gallery space by entering the octagonal device that stands at its entrance. There is a video mounted to the front of the device depicting a woman in uniform beckoning the viewer to come forward. After the viewer enters, the doors to the device close automatically, and a sequence of events occurs: lights flicker, sound and music are activated, four fans which surround the viewer turn on and off in a rhythmic fashion, and finally,the fans all turn on high and a camera on a robotic arm swings out from the side and takes a flash photograph of the inhabitant. The camera then returns to its original position and the doors reopen, allowing the viewer to proceed into the gallery space. |
