A collection of lost letters that have been written to 30 recipients. The piece emphasizes the emotional response we all have to the letters we all need to write, or letters we need to send, the avoided process, and emotional ties. The piece demonstrates and captures the intense emotions and details the story, through video captured, and remixed. A digital, yet tangible series of lost letters by Janedapain

Torture Chamber
2007.Oct.28 @ The Gog

A room dedicated to collaborative/interactive torture. The Boulder Burning Man community helped me build a room dedicated to a torture theme for a special Burning Man party at the Gog in Denver October 2007. My concept was to create an interactive/participatory piece where participants would agree to be tortured on live camera to receive a cup. Victims would enter the room and request a drink from the bar. Above the bar was a live projection from surveillance cameras on the torture equipment. If the person could not provide their own cup, they would have to agree to be tortured live on camera to receive a cup. This would allow them opportunity to acquire a drink from the bar. We tortured those who did not come prepared to the event, by bringing their own cup. The live video feed was also available for vj's to mix with up-stairs on the main dance floor. And we had fun torturing participants who were less than self reliant.

Jelly Fish
2007.Aug.25-Sept.3 @ Burning Man 2007

Featured at Burning Man 2007. We decorated and created an illuminated a mobile jelly fish atop our kinetic's craft. By building a dome over the top level built for the craft, we covered it with a parachute that was customized to create an illuminated upper level on this mobile 4 person pedal powered craft. Collecting scrap fabrics I sewed the hundreds of tentacles that hung from the bottom of the dome and provided excellent shade during the day on the craft. We incorporated LED spot lights and EL-wire into the night design of the mobile installation, as well as a small dj booth for mobile entertainment.

Sporadic Nomadic Wedding
2007.July.05 @ Streets of Boulder

July 5th 2007 Jane and Edwin branded each other live while taking vows of marriage and collaborative friendship. Three years earlier they had met on the Happy Thursday Cruiser Ride. Sharing a compassion and love of abstract lifestyle and art, Jane and Edwin decorated and created a mobile guerrilla party through the street of Boulder, featuring their mobile stage for wedding performers.

Transmissions Received
2005.June.03 @ Cyborg

Featured at the Cyborg party 2005 in Denver. This interactive piece was built by myself using a large satellite dish that I projected onto with multiple projectors and I also built a wall of monitors that also re-transmitted the stream of media that commented on the pollution of the earth and natural spaces.

Interactive Bubble Wrap
2005.Feb. @ The Gog

Featured at the Heart Spring party 2005 in Denver. This interactive install was a collaborative piece built by Droid and myself. We used my Roland midi drum brain to configure 12 Piezos Transducers / pick-up mic's. These were used to trigger video and transmit sound surrounding the room. We utilized an old sculpture, covering it with white sheets, placing Piezos transducers on the sculpture with glow-in-the-dark bracelets around them. Then we wrapped the entire sculpture in bubble wrap so participants could see the glowing circles around the triggers and mic's.....party participants could then come and pop the bubbles and push on the bubbles to trigger the video and audio projected on three walls surrounding the sculpture.

Mobile Projection Unit
2004.Nov.13 @ Fiske Planetarium

Featured at the Off World party Fiske Planetarium two mobile projection units used to project on the multiple space craft models in the planetarium. Mobile units were also used to project on the dome of the planetarium, a collage with the larger visuals for a multiple video experience.

Spherical Astro-projections
2004.Oct.23 @ Wacky Shack

Featured at the Wacky Shack DeKUMpreSHUN 2004. Using three large weather balloons I set up multiple projectors to project on the balloons and create some warping of the video as it wrapped around the spheres.

Nebula
2004.Oct.08 @ The Gog

Featured in 2004 at the Denver, Burning Man Decompression Unlocking the Vault, held at the Gog. The installation built on the top floor in the corner of the room, had a 50' x 30' translucent/opaque plastic screen. Behind the screen LEDs blinked and shined through, representing stars in the night. Black light reactive fibers filled the space. Fog rolled around creating a nebula like feeling, images of space were projected onto the translucent screen. The installation represents my interest in space and media.
