Screen at The Iowa Review Web
Monday, July 5th, 2004Screen is a collaborative project developed over the last couple years in Brown University’s virtual reality Cave. It creates new reading experiences by bringing text into direct relation with the reader’s body, and it explores memory as a virtual experience. I worked on it with Josh Carroll, Robert Coover, Shawn Greenlee, and Andrew McClain.
Last summer Thom Swiss invited me to be a featured artist at The Iowa Review Web, I was happy to accept, and we decided to focus on the Screen project. In the dead of winter Jill Walker and my fellow GTxAer Scott Rettberg interviewed me and two of my Screen collaborators — Josh and Bob. Then, over the last few months, Josh worked with Michelle Higa to shoot new footage of Screen, which Michelle edited into what I think is a quite compelling video of the project. Now the interview and the Screen video, along with an explanatory video, are live at The Iowa Review Web.
