Hello to the Living,
Many of you may remember Elisa from the Buddy and Heaven Galleries, Version Fest and more.
//Living Sundays
=================================
Party for Pooper, May 12th between 10pm and closing at Rodan 1530 North Milwaukee.
Those of you who have been walking the streets of Wicker Park, Downtown, LA, Miami, and the world these past 7-8 years would have seen art on boarded up storefronts and vacant lots.
Yetis, eskimos, magical cicadas, owls, polar bears, kissers, bunny kissers….made out of painted wood or paper.
They are by Elisa Harkins (aka Pooper), long time curator at heaven gallery, 2006 Newcity Breakout Artist. You may even have seen her on TV in Utrecht for her digitally curated DVD and magazine “Digital Disobedients.”
Rodan is having a party in her honor.
Last April 4th, she was riding her bike home from downtown when she was struck by a van. She suffered a head injury, three days afterwards, doctors operated on her. She’s recovering beautifully and amazingly. Many have helped her these past weeks. Most of the proceeds from the evening will be donated for her living and hospital expenses. And donations will be accepted at the door.
Her artwork will also be in display!
See you then!

(from my proposal for the 2nd installation)
Description:
The installation consists of one projection of a live camera feed using nightshot/infrared mode converted to b&w. This feed is fed through long delay (est 1-1.5 min) and real time effects. Activity in the room / on the camera dynamically controls the length of the delay, amount of visual echo and volume of the sound. More motion turns up the effects and sound. Less motion turns down the effects and sound.

Made it back from chicago where it was cold even by chicago standards.
The show was good, my piece was only mildly successfull. It did show me that it doesn’t really work so nearlty as well in an open room (it’s potentially a failure in an open room actually).
Took a processing class that was good. Now I just need to start trying to use it… more specificly, need to find a reason to use it. Suspect I’ll be using vdmx for installations for the time being. Think the things I would want to use processing for – data graphics- will take a while to figure out.
Oh, I also had to relearn an obvious lesson re using equipment (tripods) your not familiar with after a couple drinks. Think the camera still works bit I was too mad to even check. So I am lacking any decient documentation of the show. Have a few stills, but nothing that will be better than what I already had. Was hoping for some better documentation. … Oh well.
ugg…. so i never finished moving things over to the wordpress format. so things are still a mess around here.
also, please imagine a post just after jan 1, where i say happy new year and (mostly for myself) recap what happened last year.
but…., more importantly, you should come see my video installation. It will up on sat jan 24 at the motion graphics festival in chicago.
Saturday, January 24th, 9pm-12am
at Pixel Brothers Studio, 400 N Wolcott, Fourth Floor, Chicago, IL 60622
i posed a quick couple of clips from the last time it was installed.
“sorry, I’m not here right now” video installation documentation.
