Please Let Me Know When You Get Here (2010)

“Please Let Me Know When You Get Here” was an installation set-up within the Pinkard Gallery of the Maryland Institute College of Art and a part of the first year graduate candidate exhibition.

Using Processing scripts and Arduino hardware the space was created as a critique of representation through the ephemerally aggressive media. Any participant who engages with the space is monitored and rendered within a different part of the space where they become a performer. The engagement is created once the participant activates the sensor that leads to the audio portion of the piece.
