Love Design Ball at the Gladstone Hotel
Over the last couple of months I have been working on a video project with Department of Unusual Certainties that will be installed during the party hours at the Love Design Ball at the Gladstone hotel tomorrow night (Sat Jan 26). 150 videos clips of parties in movies and in real life were captured, curated using an emotional formula producing permutations of hope and despair, and compiled into a "quilt". At certain moments in time, three videos will enlarge, revealing a larger presence. Artist Thea Jones has been producing a "Gaze" video with the footage captured to be featured on another screen in the room. I am excited to see how the videos will look once everything is installed (happening later today) and what the room will feel like. Below are a few computer screen images taken by my colleague.
