stakeout

collaborative installation/performanc, mixed media, 2002

colloborators, Mitch Cope and Jeff Karolski

The outline of a house and its lawn were fabricated in attempt to question the privacy act of Homeland Security. Jeff recorded sound, I recorded image and Mitch digitally collaged them randomly. The images were projected onto a screen (window). As in gorilla warfare, armed with a digital camera, I hid under a chair shuffling out of the door and back to capture centrifuges.

This project was specifically for an invitational exhibition titled Centrifuge curated by Tony Hepburn. Initially intended as collaborative, each artist ended having their places mapped which led to personalizing the centrifuge. Using this occurence as the premises, I brought in two artists, Mitch Cope and Jeff Karolski to assist in a stakeout to steal centrifuges from both the other works and the audiences.
