VARIANT SERIES: COMMUNITY



INTERACTIVE VIDEO INSTALLATION



The Variant Series is a group of interactive video artworks created during the Covid-19 global pandemic that are stylized visualizations of the invisible at that time. In ”Community”, a webcam captures viewer presence over time, altering the colors of soft squares depicted on the screen. The colored squares are sometimes bright and other times somewhat muted, but always changing and connected. If colors can construe an emotional state, a variety of changing colors may suggest a range of emotions or effect from adjacent compartments. Continuous interactive video. LED panels, translucent acrylic, aluminum, computer hardware, and customized software. Approximately 54”W x 29”H x 4”D.
