Bounding Box is a live, digitally processed installation designed to be driven by public interaction and incorporates live video from the interior of the BSU Indianapolis Center. Participants’ movements in the local environment manipulate the virtual water and cause the moving box to move within the frame. You can literally play the piece by positioning your body in front of the four screens. The more vigorous the movement, the more turbulent the liquid becomes.

The Tempus Series transforms viewers’ gestures into flowing movements of nine compositions –movement, colors, textures, and forms dynamically shift amongst passages in the series. Camera tracking follows live motion in front of the street-side display, allowing for the direct influence of the composition by passers-by and traffic. This large series of works rotates through three sets of passages during the morning, afternoon and evening hours.
