New Work: Culture Coast
We recently worked with the University of Chicago and HYPa to imagine a new community art program for Chicago’s mid-South side. Visitors were asked to speak ‘Culture Coast’ and have their words rendered into three-dimensional form.
The resulting forms would then be given back to the community at public events through sculpture and interactive inflatables.
A modified prefab photo booth would provide a place to collect the spoken words at cultural events around the city. A camera would also be available to those who wished to share a personal story or connection to the mid-South side.
These stories would then be curated into an online archive sorted by location or experience for all to engage in the richness of the community.
Over time, the collection of 3D forms would grow, and would be used to broadcast the voice of the community throughout the city.
The first phase of ideation is complete, and future phases are planned pending further funding.
