UNI [THESIS PROJECT] Structural Decay installation by Chris Coleman

Another project I’ve just stumbled upon which offers a striking resemblance to my ideas for an installation. Chris Coleman is an Assistant Professor in Digital Media Studies at the University of Denver and has some fantastic work, a lot of which explores very similar areas to those I’m interested in for this thesis project. On this project:

“The work was created as part of a multi-story one building audio and visual festival called “Murder the Word” in Buffalo NY. Sensors were placed around the building and were activated by the people moving through the space. When activated each sensor would trigger a specific audio and video clip dealing with and pre-recorded and then processed from that particular space. The clips dealt with the decay of the aging structure which is normally abandoned and how the human activity was accelerating its shift to a more entropic state.” [from Vimeo]
