Channel TWo, Best of Times, Worst of Times, 2007 - 2008. Series of 4 videos, 1 min each
CH2 is a new media studio focused on mixed up reality, authorized formats/unauthorized ideas, systems of control, and radical togetherness. CH2 is named for the idea of "transmission" (Channel) and for the acronym of the people involved (TWo): Adam Trowbridge, Jessica Westbrook, and their son Oskar Westbridge. CH2 is interested in luck, levels, and trespassing through the contexts of landscape, interactivity, data, and augmented reality. The motivations underlying CH2's research/practice are aesthetic, social, and political. CH2 uses media, game platforms, communication ephemera, and mobile apps to reveal paradigms, complexity, contradictions, and cognitive dissonance. Recent CH2 projects include: Episodes, a multi-level playable virtual landfill installation with an accompanying scratch-off lotto card system; openSource Abortion, a git hub repository; polyCopRiotNode, an augmented reality intervention of database error induced home invasions; Find Each Other. Begin There, a networked 2-channel virtual cornfield game installation; and t4int3d [<3] (read: tainted love) a downloadable collection of computer viruses and executables inspired by a love story.
