2022
Audio by Norman Long
A plaster medallion is the surface on which I press snowmelt and natural detritus in tandem with live audio generated by sound artist Norman Long. I created a live animation as the snowmelt evaporated, leaving stains on the plaster.
Dirtlight was performed for the 2022 AV Fest at Elastic Arts in Chicago.
