BFA Contract

What I'm working on:

I will be working on a multi-page interactive website that will be displayed on multiple, side by side computers, each displaying a different page. Despite the multiple computers, and pages, this will be a single work.

The concept behind this piece is unintentional consequences, or more specifically, the idea that an action not only has an immediate, obvious consequence, but can have potentially far reaching consequences that may be difficult to connect to the original action. This will be in the form of three to four environments that are connected in some way, most likely, the same area at different times in history.

The final result will be visually reminiscent of the sumi-e brush style, but with more of a focus on color that will be used to visually distinguish between different states in time.

As for the final format of the piece, it will be displayed on up to four computers, side by side in the gallery space against the wall.
