Moving Sculpture : Streams

Schwarzman Center, 2024

video, wood, acrylic, plumbing supplies, live footage

Streams is a video sculpture that invites multiple situations for looking. Designed as a trompe-l’oeil public bathroom sink that functions as both a mirror and a tool for surveillance reflecting the architecture of the dome. Visitors can interact with the sculpture by looking through the sink’s drain hole to discover a hidden monitor displaying live footage of visitors moving along the space captured by a hidden camera. A large-scale projection of observing eyes will also be displayed adjacent to the video sculpture. The title plays on the growing culture of narcissism and surveillance perpetuated by live-streaming platforms.
