WNYC "All Things Considered" interview


WNYC "All Things Considered" interview
Just as we were installing the EKG Gallery show I received a email from Britta Conroy-Randall at WNYC Public Radio and was asked to do a phone chat. The next thing I knew I was being recorded for that days episode of "All Things Considered" which was a great honor. I grew up listening to "All Things Considered" everyday as a child so it really meant a lot!

I will be talking as part of the New Tools for Civic Engagement: Betaville at the MASS NYC -- SUMMIT FOR NEW YORK CITY
Thursday, Oct 21
New and developing technologies are shaping the future of New York City’s built environment. Perhaps the best example of this is Betaville, a project based on gaming technology that invites the public to have hands-on participation in re-creating real urban spaces. This unique project, which currently focuses on Lower Manhattan, was created by Carl Skelton, director of the New York University Polytechnic Institute’s Brooklyn Experimental Media Center.

The augmented reality work "Border Memorial: Frontera de los Muertos" @ Esther Klein Gallery (EKG) through the Vitrual Public Art Project or VPAP.

We captured a section of the US/ Mexico boarder where migrants passed away trying to enter the U.S. - We have brought that 3d topography into the gallery space with augmented reality. Gallery goers
will be able to experience the location where the migrants passed.
The work is a vivid reminder of the price paid for the U.S. way of life.
