Airlock Park

This body of work is a series of navigable tableaux, or scenes, constructed from image fragments. Physically, the work is presented as an audiovisual installation driven by a customized Sony PlayStation 3 game machine ([diagram]). To the right are screen captures of the scenes in Airlock Park.
At present the scenes consist of:

_Pyres_

  • Sent bird, 2011
  • Adjuster's widow, 2011
  • The Lightfall steppes, 2010

_Postbellum_

  • Mentioned in dispatches, 2009
  • Rebel yell, 2009
  • Mockingbird hill, 2009
Thematic concerns link the scenes, and the viewer may jump from one to another using "warp" points.
The following additions to Airlock Park are forthcoming in 2012-13.

_Congress_

  • Part and instrument
  • Truster walk
  • Four fathers
New scenes are integrated into the same machine holding the existing ones, adding to the constellation of works.

Images and sample video

The videos are of sample flights on autopilot. The actual installed work runs continuously and may be guided by the viewer.
