Live-stream video feed (1 hour). Performer Kanene Holder (Occupy Wall Street activist) playing a game of chance operation with viewers in relation to key words of the political movement. This piece framed a networked intervention, distributing the singular message of one activist in relation to the crowd-source of the movement and the transformation of viewer engagement. At the time of transmission, the Occupiers had recently left the Zuccotti Park site in New York. With this work we played with terms of access, surveillance, distribution, and the very concept of occupying a space in relation to networked mediation. Cinematographer: Aaron Phillips.

city, in this case a thriller of the hunter and the prey. Armed with a hand-held media device, such as a cell phone, viewers move through the various sites mapped out by the piece, viewing the movingimage media on their hand-held device. For this project, the act of viewing is contingent on an actual location. This project engages geoloctive design using mobile Internet connectivity to locate segments of moving image in locations. We engage three sites to tell the story of Le Chasseur (The Hunter), Hotel de Sullly, Parc des Buttes Chaumont, and Passage du Grand Cerf. This project was supported by an artist-in-residency at Centre International dAccueil et dEchanges des Rcollets,

Waken: Generative Form/ Dynamic Systems

New Museum of Contemporary Art, New York 2005

Selected Works | Coleman & Goldkrand

This was a project that won a juried competition for work that addressed art and architecture. With Waken, a multi-media installation that included sculpture, 18-channel generative sound, and 3D animation, we designed a system that would be generative across different forms: sculptural, audio, video, and spatial. We worked with metaphors of a natural system in which patters of swarming, pollination, and decay all factored into the build environment. Hive City, the sculpture fabricated from cardboard, resin, and polymers. For the sound design we used Max/MSP as the engine, with handmade speaker arrays. We reimagined the museum site was to create a calm, secluded environment for the piece.

Music Box: installation and software design

Waag Society for New Media, Amsterdam, 2004

For Music Box we created a 16-channel sound installation in the the Waags Theatrum Anatomicum, built in 1691. Historically this was a space dedicated to scientific experimentation. Dissections were secretly done by the surgeons guild in this site. Our installation engaged the acoustics of the dome, swirling sounds around the space to invoke its stories and to reengage it for new ones. We designed an armature to install the handmade speaker system without harming the landmark site. To direct the motion of the audio through the space, we used Vernacular, a software we designed, to create a sensation of directionality and buoyancy. This project was supported by an artists residency at the Waag Society and Rockefeller Foundation fund for new media art.

The subtitle for this project was experiments for the electrotectural now. SoundLab was a nomadic, multimedia installation and performance platform. Over a decade, artists Beth Coleman and Howard Goldkrand created SoundLabs in diverse sites across New York City and internationally. The SoundLab is a modular mobile sculptural form that addresses, space, place, and time among its formats. The media for a SoundLab installation include electronic music, experimental and nonpermissional urban sites, visual installation, computing culture, and numerous participants.
