The Duplex Across the Street
looping digital animation, 2017
installed: UMW Media Wall, Univ of Mary Washington, Fredericksburg, VA
A wood-paneled wall slowly changes into a darkly psychedelic vision of light and color before returning, illustrating a gradual dissolve of reality into abstraction and back. This piece was featured in “24 Seconds of Memphis Water” (on the “Objects and Arrangements” page).
Pictured at right is a cropped version on the UMW Media Wall.
3 Image sequences (details) follow.

Sam King, Marc Mitchell, John C Kelley
Interactive Sound installation, 2016
installed: Valley of the Vapors, Hot Springs, AR
An embedded Arduino processor inside of the painting plays looping tones that are run through a small guitar amp. A custom-etched vinyl record spins on a slowly dying turntable, playing a looping section of “silence” on the record. Guitar and piano strings are stretched inside of the white box, and have an installed guitar pickup. When standing on the box, the string tension changes and creates a sound run through a customized amplifier.

I Am Here

Art Performance with onsite A/M Radio Broadcast and Live Netcast, Lalaland, Fayetteville, AR, 2015
installed: Lalaland, Fayetteville, AR
Inspired by the distress calls sent by Amerlia Earhart and recieved by the USS Itasca, this installation includes an elevated recording booth, barely large enough for one seated performer (Cynthia). Over the course of 3 hours, the performer repeats the phrase “Where are you”, which is broadcasted in two ways: a live netcast via the “Periscope” app, and a 9-inch A/M Radio broadcast.

Gertrude Stein Plays Paris
Theatrical Reading with Projections and Sound, 2014
documented: Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, Bentonville, AR
Actors read from a script that adapts the works of Gertrude Stein, while interacting with a projection screen. Original sound and video are triggered by Qlab, to correspond with the live elements.
My responsibilites included the creation of orignal video and sound sequences, as well as filming and editing the actors within the video ”space”, as represented by the wood panelling. Cues for Qlab were discussed with a proprietary tech crew, who triggered cues during the performance.
