OU SoA Critical Regionalism Initiative Spaces Installation
The newly formed Ohio University School of Art Critical Regionalism Initiative focuses on this region and an examination of coal mining in Southeast Ohio. The group will premiere their project for this exhibition, bringing the ideas of site-specificity in contemporary art into fruitful contact with the work of both governmental agencies and nongovernmental activists on a range of regional issues.
The following images are from the installation at Spaces Gallery in Cleveland OH

have a seat by your self is an installation consisting of four small video cameras, four projectors a chair and two modeling lights.
Each of the four cameras is positioned off the four corners of the chair and are focused on a single point above the chair. The projectors each receive the live video feed from one camera which are projected on one another creating a single image with four views.
Searching
Nearly 10,000 satellites now orbit Earth, passing over our
heads unseen. A few hundred of those, however, are large
and close enough to be seen as flashes of reflected
sunlight.
These few brilliant specks of light can be seen during
daylight hours if one only knows when and where to look.
The possibility of catching a first-hand glimpse of a satellite
in action is the impetus for the compulsive actions that
created these photographs and installation.
The over 2000 original images in the exhibition are
displayed in 3 distinct areas, a processing station, a
projected high-speed slide-show and an analysis station.
The sound-scape in the installation is comprised of
recordings from the electronic data transmissions of
satellites.
Visitors to the installation were encouraged to sift through the
prints and take one away with them.
