Red Forest, 2015 
six-channel synchronized video installation displayed on six 49" LED 4K flat panel displays, 15 minute loop
172" x 50"

El Museo Cultural, Santa Fe, NM

Red Forest
15' 
 
Red Forest is a piece that addresses the Chernobyl nuclear meltdown of 1986, an incident I remember well. It is named for the pine forest located in the zone of alienation (arguably the most contaminated area on Earth) surrounding the plant. The trees turned red after receiving a lethal dose of radiation.  
 
A six-channel synchronized video installation, Red Forest is formally comprised of six vertically mounted 49” flat screen LED monitors reminiscent of traditional Japanese ‘byoku’ screens from the Edo period. Employing formal and poetic elements of that tradition, the synchronized, digitally animated tableaux are read from right to left. The compositions are composed (with articulated visual information from work done in Python, Quartz Composer, and a digital Rutt-Etra Scanning Processor) in After Effects, a compositing software program. The viewer is invited into contemplation of radiation and its effects in evolving painterly landscapes and interior spaces- spaces both intimately familiar and strangely alien.
