Deflated/Defeated Hatchfund Project

Entrance to Human Resources
My next endeavor will be to create a huge (read:entire gallery) installation at Human Resources.  They are a gallery known for performance art, and even as a music venue.  I was invited to do an installation piece as a collaboration with Dorian Wood.  He will be performing there with an orchestra from the 20-25 of March.  
 
Dorian and Orchestra Performing
My work will serve several functions including helping with acoustics (eliminating the echo) and transforming the white cube that is the gallery space into an environment that goes along with the themes of his performance.  The audience will be free to roam through the space at will.  I consider this really interesting, because the viewer can dictate their experience of both the music and the visuals.

Sound interesting?  In order to make this piece I have launched a Hatchfund to help raise money for the project.  Please considering supporting this project or sharing the link with your social networks.  Here's the link:
