Today was the culmination of about 3 weeks working on an installation that was on display at the National Building Museum as part of the 24 Hour Cities Project / Intelligent Cities Forum. I collaborated with local dramaturg Elissa Goetschius, photographer Chris Mabry, and photographer/producer Dallas Lillich to create the installation “Layered Portraits.” The main piece is made up of small plexiglas squares coated with a translucent rear-projection screen film which were then strung together with monofilament to create a floating, 3-dimensional, pixel-like screen. The subjects projected are DC residents, which we also audio recorded and played (asynchronously) with the video. A projection of a live twitter stream displaying DC statistics was also included.
