Installation Work

Please let me know when you get here

“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.

Capturing a still image requires the user to remain still.

Continuing through the work that was established in my senior thesis of my undergrad. The investigation as to the issues with Generation Y having to handle being controlled by media outlets and then have to create their own identity as a collective. In this piece I used a standard digital picture frame that references the home. A picture frame of a child in his father’s lap, outside in some outing. The face and any skin is replaced with a silhouetted image that has running video of a screen saver stating “Signal not Found”. As embodying the digital era from birth, the lack of connection to their original identity or connection to family.
