About:

This piece was created a part of a large scale, site specific video installation:
August 19th, 7-9 pm at CRANE ARTS, Gray Area Gallery,
1400 N American St, Philadelphia, PA 19122

-X'Cambó is a multi-channel interactive video installation and print series dealing with the interaction of humans and nature over time.

-After being asked by Mina Zarfsaz (a curator, artist, and professor at Temple University) to be in my first solo exhibition - This new work, X'Cambó is a large scale, site-specific video installation being show at The Crane Arts building on Saturday, August 19th, 7-9pm. The opening reception event page is here.

How The Project Came About:

-For the past year I have been collecting and documenting video, stills, and audio from remote areas in Mexico, Canada, and the USA.

-After two other successful Kickstarter projects: The Darkening of Spaces and Hack Philly, I have decided its time to make a new body of work - X'Cambó is a culmination of this work - I will be showing both this video installation and also a series of prints.

-The funds raised from this project will go towards the large expense of building an installation of this scale and complexity.
