LET'S GET PHYSICAL

Today we had our show called LET'S GET PHYSICAL with physical plant. I was collaborating with Chilled Water Plant used for air conditioning. I did a video installation piece in memory of the bugs that died in this plant. The show took place at an amazing, open roof garden which used to be a chilled water plant. I projected my video on a screen inside a messy room adjacent to the garden with a barrier at the door to block people from entering the space. This, in a way, echoed what the chilling tower was like, where noone was allowed to enter, except for the bugs that can't be stopped. I really enjoyed working on this project, working with things (drawing, video, bug images) that I like. I think I will make use of the waterfall footage a lot in the future. T sum up, I am glad this happened and that I was productive.

First failed trial of combining water with bugs
