screen memory
Multi-media installation
ArtPace: Hudson [Show]Room: San Antonio, TX 1996
A multi–media retrospective installation, screen memory revealed and concealed elements of previous +parasite installations. Projection and performance video images, soundtracks, and floating physical fragments from earlier works were installed behind a 32-feet long suspended bamboo screen constructed specifically for this installation. The fragments could be viewed through milled aluminum peepholes set into the screen. Vertical bamboo with limestone “feet” supported an overhead horizontal bamboo and recycled copper screen mesh “forest” with light-sensitive electronic metronome 'insects'. This constructed forest arced out of the second-story gallery window toward the living bamboo screen on the peripheral grounds of the adjacent Foundation for Contemporary Art. screen memory concealed and revealed elements in an attempt to heighten the awareness of the conflict between the natural and increasing technological and virtual aspects of our daily lives.
