OOPS

OOPS

My project broke!

People were fondling her, but she is not interactive :(

I thought of bringing a few “do not touch” signs, but that felt like overkill!

There is no such thing as overkill when it comes to new media art shows

I had it running perfectly for several hours that day and then just before opening night, the display’s driver board was broken beyond repair, likely due to someone thinking it was a touch screen and handling it roughly

I couldn’t get a replacement display delivered in time.

Here’s what I did

I ubered to the Santa Fe Walmart, Michaels, and Daiso and purchased:

A DVI cable, an Ethernet cable, and a couple pairs of cheap, pink, wired headphones

And I gutted them

Here are some of the animations you would have seen had she been working on opening night of Current New Media Festival, 2025
