My dia de los muertos box; my first attempt at something quasi-narrative with mixed media in a gigapan. Memorializing anything sentimental in my closet resulted in the overwhelming but neccesarry amount of narcissim that went into this.
Some notes: There are also a few links to my videos and music embedded in the snapshots i've taken which help explain all the items on the wall, if you really want to get a sense for how the items all relate to one another. There's a lot of time-related photography/virtual reality/time items that I like to think give the viewer a sense of evaporating memories and time. There's also two of the same watch that relate to the process and allude to the fact that the photograph is composited from 120 individual photographs taken at different moments, creating an illusion of a precise moment that never actually occurred at all. In the next piece I do like this, I'm going to attempt to elicit the same idea with a drop of water caught in mid-air or a falling glass. |

This panorama was taken on a hot summer day in the Lustgarten, in front of the Berlin Cathedral and the Old Museum. To the right is the Palace of the Republic of the former East German Government, being dismantled. Behind it you can see the tower of the City Hall.

Black Ven is one of the most spectacular coastal landslides in Europe. Beyond, lies the Spittles, a series of fields that lie on an ancient landslide surface just waiting to be ‘unzipped’ by coastal erosion. The town of Lyme Regis is protected from the sea by its famous harbour, the Cobb and a new coast defence scheme along the sea front. However, the landslides continue to threaten the eastern side of the town. There is a paradox here; the reason why Lyme is so famous for fossils and why the surrounding coast is so interesting, internationally important and beautiful is because it is eroding. Finding the balance between protecting the natural interests of the coast, a World Heritage Site, by allowing it to erode, and protecting the town from that erosion, is a continuing challenge for all involved in managing this coastline made beautiful by both natural erosion and human endeavour. For more information about the World Heritage Site, visit: www.jurassiccoast.com or http://www.soton.ac.uk/~imw/lymchar.htm |

The John Lennon Educational Tour Bus made a stop at OSU to work with a group of students. The OSU Women in Technology group, The Wexner Center for the Arts, and The Digital Union partnered with the University Area Enrichment Associaton (UAEA) to bring the bus to the Ohio State University Campus. Since I had great access and the bus staff were extremely hepful, I was able to quickly snag this pan before morning tours began. |

A longer exposure Gigapan in The Social tent at Larmer Tree Festival 2009.
The tent is a reindeer herders tent. The Social is lovely; by day it is a casual chilled-out space with a bar and stage (while we were doing the Gigapan a lady got up and did a reading of Winnie The Pooh over the microphone), and by night it has fantastic live music. Came out quite nicely considering the light! |
