Public engagement piece in which participants traced the clouds visible from the Food Lion parking lot at 1228 Concord Ave, Richmond, VA 23227.Each person traced the outlines in a different color while engaging in coversation with the artist. The plexiglass was then attatched to the wall, including the tracings from the parking lot, and projected onto. The video projection superimposes other cloudscapes onto these outlines.
Video sites include non-descript but open locations such as parking lots and highways, where moments of awe occur in the supermodern non-place. (see thesis)
