| WISH YOU WERE HERE | Interactive installation created with Ben Keuster for our thesis exhibition at the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore, Maryland. The installation included a modified piano painting machine, a live remote broadcast, a paint fountain, videos, and a tropical island. The piano shot paint onto a canvas equipped with a color sensor which produced sounds that were broadcast into a separate gallery across campus. A viewer could either play a silent visual piano, or hear a remote painting. Click here for more images. |
