DEMOGRAPHIA, 2005
Longwood Arts Gallery, South Bronx, NY.
Created for the Bronx Council for the Arts - Digital Matrix Commission
Explores the theme of “mapping” as it relates to survival, resistance, and gentrification. How do artists respond to it? How do these issues affect community? How can the internet or web-based technology be used to address these concerns?
Demographia was an animation created using numerical data gathered from demographics of the South Bronx over a 20 year period. The numbers were mapped onto digital bodies and served as a sculpting tool to form and reform the bodies over time.
