via Made Up:
MADE UP: Design's Fictions presents the work of major and emerging international practices that forecast, hypothesize, muse, skylark, role-play, put-on-airs, freak-out or otherwise fake-it to produce work that is relevant to our increasingly confusing and accelerated world.
Staged in the MDP’s Wind Tunnel Gallery (where supersonic jets were once secretly tested), MADE UP is a new type of exhibition — a self-recording, 1:1 map of questions and propositions: dreams as program; science fiction as precedent; cults of commerce; objects as ideas; strange-ified banality; truth-revealing jokes; false histories; and elaborated scenarios.
main contributions:
As part of the LIKE NOW team, I interfaced between the instillation team lead by Laura G. and Halia A. and the interactive media design team led by Jayne V., Angelo L. and Ewan B. I helped develop the prototypes for camera brackets that would house the cameras documenting the events inside the exhibitions, coordinated and located electrical hardware for the interaction/media team, coordinated timed prints from a 42" plotter that featured images from the cameras documenting the space, and assemble instillation infrastructure which included a Douglas fir beam hung from suspended PVC structures.
