Now And Then

It's Coming a Storm (Praise Receiver) was an attempt to measure the Internet attention received by people who have made lives of thriving on it.

It was produced for an exhibition at Harvestworks from 06/22/17-06/25/17. I can't lie the experience of this totally broke me for a while and made me want to stop producing things in public. More info here.

It takes the form of two 3D environments. The first contains 8 ogreish politicans and celebrities swinging from chains as they accumulate Attention Coins, groan, and swell as the size of their audience ebbs and flows. The second (THE ORB) invites participation and manipulates a humanoid body for every Twitter person that signs up here. The energy of the orb is dictated by our collective sum of attention received over the past 24 hours. Warning that most laptops may not render these videos very well, or they might get really hot.

Sound produced in collaboration with Tommmy Martinez. Below are some images of the install / screenshots from the 3D environments.
