Human Cartographies by E.L

An interactive video installation created in collaboration with Lucas Martinez  as our collaborative team E.L for the Hudson Opera House, while Artists-In-Residence at Drop Forge and Tool

In this installation, artists Lucas Martinez and Emma Shapiro invite the viewer to interact with temporal and spacial multiplicity. By exploring an environment physically, one is simultaneously exploring the same environment intellectually, projecting a perceived experience while creating a bodily one. Here, viewers will be aware of their presence in multiple places at once, as both active participant and discoverable object. The pieces at play will collaborate with the viewers in a dynamic representation of the visual and perceptual dissonance we feel when encountering a new environment.
