Shadow and Dust
Shadow and Dust is the title of my May 4th 2018 show at the Powder Room in Pittsburgh, which centered around a three part virtual reality performance over the course of the opening. The performance also named Shadow and Dust, broken into three parts, was done with the help of artist Tsohil Bhatia, explores the different ways bodies can have form, contemplates the permeable and malleable boundaries of bodies, and thinks about how social interaction or contracts can shape bodies in space. The second room in the gallery featured four custom light boxes that had digital prints of bodies I had created during my research.
This is an image was created in a drawing/design program. I originally thought that I should make a body since there isn't a body or avatar provided in this virtual reality program.

Image from a virtual sculpture that was created from tracing the negative space around my body in a VR drawing/design program. I was thinking about my body existing in the "field" around me, thereby extending my body into that space.

This is an image created in a virtual reality drawing/design program. The procedure was conducted over a period of time mapping the surface of my body throughout a walk. Each move traced to the virtual space. I used color to track the separate movements.

This is an image created in a drawing/design program was created through a procedure in which the tracing is intentionally made to describe the "interior" of the body. The result of which resembles the spars of an airplane wing.

This is an image created in a drawing/design program. This procedure was done while standing on a ladder. The ladder in the physical space imposes rules, form and boundaries in the virtual space.

This procedure was done with two people, each tracing each other's body. The participant doing the tracing does so with the Vive Head Mount Display and can see the tracing however blind to the physical body. The tracing is done blindly.

Image from a virtual sculpture that was created from tracing the front of my body in a VR drawing/design program by attaching a Vive Controller to a tripod. The tracing extends my body into a point, like an aerodynamic appendage.
