Expanding into Placesetting Facades (DIFFA Detroit 2011)

More moment-image based endeavors- this time for Michigan AIDS coalition’s Dining by design event in Detroit. Details and superlatives are iterated here.

Conceptualized and fabricated in Conjunction with colleagues/ humans Mark Ehgotz, Scott Poloney, Ken Zawislak, Eileen Devine, we envisioned this installation as simulacrum of ‘Glamping’:

"Satisfying your craving for the outdoors and your penchant for a good meal and a glass of wine. Glamping Detroit celebrates this concept within the urban fabric of the city and showcases the richness of Detroit - Past, Present, and Future."

This piece is fabricated from donated/ reclaimed materials and services, and exemplifies the possible effectiveness of spot design-build processes within a niche of the practice largely devoid of that architectural modality

The Second to Last Node Engagement.

Perhaps third. It’s called ‘hedging’, kids. Look it up. As exhibited at the 2011 dally in the Ally Festival. (Requisite love found here: http://www.knightarts.org/community/detroit/diet-at-dally)

Photos by Richard Chase or Josh Devault, and needlessly grained and contrasted by me. 

Duplicate Datums and the Anatomy of a Hot Mess

Déjà vu is the recognization of a twice- discrete point in reference space over a continuous Cartesian reality. These manifest as emotional re-interpretations of overlapping values.
