My new work consists of large scale, site specific, video projections on building facades in urban settings. Blank walls will be transformed into cascading, colorful, evocative projections that will make people smile and think.
These projection sites will greet and engage pedestrians, light rail passengers, residents, shoppers, passersby, the public, and invited audiences.
No screens are needed. Architecture is the screen. The projections are silent.
Some possible
projection sites for
St. Paul's 4th St. Market District.
