Contingent Matters
images
description
Contingent Matters was a work commissioned by the City of Vancouver for the Aperture Public Art Program at the Vancouver Public Library.
The general concern of Contingent Matters is the provisional character of knowledge as expressed through language. The texts use teriary colours (red-orange, blue-green, etc.) to represent knowledge as a variegated phenomena coloured by things at a distance, always motivated and never neutral. The texts are placed against a background approximating the colour of the walls of Library Square to appear as if inscribed directly on the buildings surface.

Kinetic Floating Pixels
description
Kinetic floating pixels is an interactive, kinetic light installation made up of an array of moving helium balloons that merges the physical and virtual words in a fun and playful experience.
Visitors are able to choose and control the position of several large balloons and change the colours of individual balloons though an avatar. To operate the avatar a participant stands in the installation space and is tracked by a 3D imaging camera that positions the avatar relative to their body. Visitors are able to trigger waves and other patterns with the balloons, as well as change colours.
This reflexive engagement of the physical and virtual provides playful experience as peoples virtual actions manifest themselves in reality.
