Display and Decor: Various Installations
Since about 2007 when I started working with Holt Renfrew's Visual Dept, I've gotten my hands into more and more sculptural and 3-dimensional work, for window displays, event decoration, and more recently interactive art and props. I'm fascinated by this kind of work and hope to do more.
The Paper Shooter: Spring 2019
Collaboration with GNW Scene Shop and Tangible Interaction (digital arts and entertainment co.)
During April/May of 2019 I got to build the base sculpture for an interactive art piece, commissioned by Tangible Interaction. We built one for Science World in Vancouver and one for Chicago's WNDR Museum. As seen in the video, you put a special paper pod (with an LED on it) into the shooter, close the door, push a button, and watch as it shoots up and flutters down. The piece had a 4" pipe mounted within an 8" pipe: custom 3D printed pieces bridged the small and large PVC pipes, and intersected with a 40' hose at the top. An industrial-strength fan mounted inside one leg was activated by a button with controllers set inside the pipes too. A sliding door allowed the user to place their paper pod inside the 4" pipe, then close the door to create the air pressure needed to push the pod all the way up the hose. It was a good challenge and a great collaboration I think!
