A 6' fiberglass train engine model (in <i>either</i> style, or <i>both</i>...?) will be professionally chromed with<i> quality</i> <i>mirror finish</i> chrome, creating a highly reflective gorgeous gem that will shine in the heart of its home city Huntington, West Virginia. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
"Concept: Chrome" is about more than an object, a surface treatment, or spectacle... it is about the heart and soul of a city; its people. More importantly, it is all about enabling people to capture their city, and their vital role in it, in context. Every single photograph of this piece will capture not only the piece itself, but also the reflection of the sky, surrounding buildings and monuments, people, <i>even </i>the photo-taker his or her self! It is the kind of artwork that is conscious of those around it, that gives back more than it takes, that shares the stage; it will welcome all to be a part of the magic to which public art aspires, and is all too often found wanting. </div>

Why? It certainly is a phenomenon, it is strange and beautiful, it is many things... but in practice, each and every boy and girl, every man and woman who "looks at" the sculpture, sees his or her self; in the city, of the city, they are part of the slipstream. Their gaze and presence breathes life into this static object and animates it, and it in turn animates them, they reveal unknowns to one-another. Each needs the other, such a sculpture speaks to relationships, and our human longing for connection; it is poignant how with such a simple concept, our innermost desires can be laid bare. In this way, we are connected to one-another, and therefore to our city, for it is no more, or less, than <i>us</i>. <i>This</i> is the kind of art that reminds us of that very fact; "Concept: Chrome."</div>

The basic concept, displaying the 6' fiberglass train model vertically, with booster rockets and fuel tanks attached, mirroring the retired space shuttle program which captured the imagination of the country, and accomplished incredible scientific endeavors... Whatever the future holds for our space program, it will be set soundly upon the foundation of the world's most ambitious space program; just as the City of Huntington's bright future will be built upon the sound historical footing of a vibrant industrial past and present!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
With appropriate sponsorship, the finished model will include an understated launch stage and launch structure to further support the rocket in it's vertical orientation. With access to electric, black-lights embedded in the stage will illuminate an image of nebulae reminiscent of full color Hubble Space Telescope imagery (an image painted in phosphorescent paint, which will be <i>invisible</i> in the daytime, and visible <i>only</i> at night under the black-lights). Furthermore, the shuttle, tank, and boosters could be embedded <i>throughout</i> with fiberoptic cabling, illuminating a star-field from within, complimenting and creating a backdrop for the Hubble imagery painted on the exterior... and providing <i>plenty</i> of opportunities for concealing the Hoops Family Children's Hospital logo!</div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Described in the video, the analog tape-delay takes in the sound of a space, amplifies, and pushes it out into the same space, resampling and looping. The feedback is controlled by the delay, as well as an equalizer which emphasizes or deemphasizes portions of the audio spectrum. In this way one is able to eaves-drop on a conversation between a space, and itself from a different point in time. Timeand sound are looped and tangled.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Based on rough studio experiments, the video stands as documentation of the performance and phenomenon. Therefore, the video is not the finished work; audio quality is fair, but far shy of as immersive as it is in any given space. Furthermore, the installation and performance changes (sometimes dramatically) depending upon the size, shape, and quality of the space in which it is deployed.

The low RPM motor rotated a spring-loaded nail, which would pluck the galvanized wire which supported the removed portions of painted landscape... the pieces would in turn dance alternately.<br />
This piece is in a private collection; the collector who purchased it said in a letter he sent to me following the acquisition, "...as a young man I shot bow and arrow with my father, the sound of the piece reminded me of the sound the bowstring would make when an arrow was released...<br />

Echoing the counterintuitive condition, the earth orbiting the sun... appearances can be deceiving. The stirring plate is bolted to the gallery space, and the base (normally still) now swings. Perhaps it is still <i>still</i>... we, the gallery, the earth and everything are moving around it, and once still chains curve in its wake.J.

Computer Power Supply, Galvanized Steel Rod, Low RPM Motor, Neon Lamps, Projector, Camera, (infinite loop, interactive)<br />
<br />
Neon lamps swing at the end of long galvanized arms, creating interesting possibilities for long-exposure photography... when a projector and camera are added, both aimed at the same portion of wall occupied by the piece, an infinite loop with a slight delay is created. Observers enter the space between, and therefore become part of the loop, their presence echoed into infinity...<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
Based on a rough studio-exploration, this sytem-in-cycle would "breath," filling with air via the fill-nozzle, until the inner-tube lifted it off of the fill switch; at which point it would lift off the switch and stop filling with air. The pressure in the inner-tube would bleed off, lowering the weight, actuating the fill-nozzle, and staring the system all over again. Its cycle sounded very much like a breathing machine; yet instead of a machine breathing for someone, this one breathed all by itself, for itself...</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In this unlikely arrangement, surgical tubing filled with compressed air is suspended from pins and monofilament, filling the gallery with an illuminated "breathing" creature... its time slowly ticking away as the air pressure trickles out through a pin-hole, driving several small foam pin-wheels on the wall; attached by sewing pins.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As the air pressure trickled out, once expanded portions of tubing would contract in violent and sudden throes, and do so completely randomly. This pictured campus gallery (<a href="http://www.cranbrookart.edu/index9.html" target="_blank">Cranbrook Academy of Art</a>'s <i><a href="http://www.cranbrookart.edu/Pages/ForumGallery.html" target="_blank">Forum Gallery</a></i>) was open 24hr; the piece ran for nearly 3 full days.</div>
