VIDEO INSTALLATION

PLAY (2018)

“PLAY” is an interactive audiovisual installation activated through the triggering of MIDI buttons by passerby. Users explore rhythm and improvisation with this installation, creating collaborative and impromptu sequences that are both visual and musical.

The Play series began as an experimental collaboration with artist and filmmaker Darren Cole using MIDI triggered video clips. It was later commissioned as a public art piece for Illuminus Festival in Downtown Boston November 2-3, 2018.

POWER (2018)

Installed at MassArt in Boston, MA on May 3rd, 2018, this interactive installation emerged from connections drawn between the formal elements developing in my installation practice and the history I have been studying about the colonization and globalization of Latin America. I drew many parallels between the elements of darkness and control, and felt that this installation was an expression of the psychology behind many U.S. citizens who choose to deny the historical context of Latin America and other colonized lands. It uses form to explore the intentionality required to understand the historical context for colonialism and present-day imperialism.

THE SPECTACLE (2017)

The Spectacle explores themes of surveillance, propaganda, and control, and serves as an invitation to a theatrical, immersive experience in which the affectation of nostalgia as a tool for ideology and control of masses is explored and exploited. Analog mediums play an important role in emphasizing propaganda nostalgia, but in the theatrical experience, modern technology will also play a part in blurring the lines between modern and vintage, to question the differences between media and consumption in earlier times as compared to modern times.
