Description



Steel Ice & Stone is a multi-media interactive installation.
Nine suspended LED panels and sensor-triggered sound create an environment for memory recall.

As production officially begins next week...

...additional considerations are needed.

While at once I was ready to get a full set of scans of the pieces, right now I'm holding off.
   a) There must be relevant digital images of all the materials somewhere, it just must be found. Perhaps only one or two are needed to update.
   b) From there most of the images can be tiled and worked on for the Proto 1 Phase.

I meet with the engineer July 2  to work out a logical path for an October prototype exhibition at NYCCT
   a) Perhaps the unit from SMV with new chips might suffice for the time being.
   b) Where to find these chips? And, SMV has seven pieces; SIS has nine.
   c) The unit is nowhere as important as what's going on them and how I'm going to do that.

I have heard back from a few places, with flat results, and the one place I'm waiting on hasn't gotten back.
   a) I'm placing a lot of weight on a fund raising campaign, to be launched in September.
   b) Still worried about a lack of work space.

Yet, I emailed the designer to begin thinking about identity materials. Must keep this thing moving, staying optimistic.

And then, the birds!                                   
Clapper rail, whose song is on the soundtrack.

Coming up:

Chomping at the bit

Over the next few weeks, the initial prep work needs to start, that is, after a very needed short vacation. NYSCA came in with a no-go, yet other things--good ones--still loom on the horizon.

A time line has been written, time to follow it.

Widening Horizons

An email from a confidant from Cologne—who now lives in Karlsrühe, Germany with his lovely wife—woke the dinosaur to bring the installation across the Lake. Not that the ZKM hasn't been on my mind. Its website listed on the right. Thoughts of crates, customs and all those fun details have been whirring through my head non-stop ever since.
Looking forward to the possibility.
