Big Blue Viewing Station, 2001
3 video monitors, lights, styrofoam, wood, paint, paper mache, fabric

For this piece I created a viewing station for stop motion animated videos. Lumpy and lo-tech, I was referencing old science fiction sets. I wanted to emphasize the human hand in design products and also to create an object for viewers to touch while they watched the films. Meant to be somewhat silly, the Big Blue Viewing Station generated a lot of laughs and was especially popular with the kids. Most people thought it was a giant space ship, although that was not my intention originally. The underlying circle was a very large glittery fabric piece, again emphasizing the tactile quality of the films.
