This is the group authored research blog of the RISD course Installation / Sight & Sound taught by Shawn Greenlee as a partnership between the Departments of Printmaking and Digital+Media.

Contributers include: Max Ackerman, Samantha Blumenfeld, Laura Brown, Lucy Bull, Katherine Gui, Jamie Krasner, Sarah Lee, Laura Perez-Harris, Bundith Phunsombatlert, Mona Poor-Olschafskie, Charlotte Potter, Mark Rice, John Rohrer, Justin Rosengarten, Calvin Waterman, Xiaowen Wu, Benjamin Kennedy, and Shawn Greenlee.

Installation / Sight & Sound is a studio course where students create installations and performances that incorporate printmaking techniques into a multimedia context. Students are encouraged to create experiences that transform the gallery setting or exist outside it. The course facilitates cross-media experimentation, while also introducing the computer-programming environment Max/MSP/Jitter as a solution for creating participatory situations and integrations between image and sound.

power switch tail

I know it’s late in the semester, but hooray for this one! This allows you to easily use an Arduino (and similar) to turn on/off wall voltage (120v) devices. These are available direct from the link and places like SparkFun.

This is Janine Antoni’s performance, “Loving Care”.

She painted the floor with her hair and hair dye, imitating Abstract Expressionist paintings in a way. As she painted the floor, she pushed the viewers to be out of the room. She mentioned that it was from the memory of her childhood; whenever her mother was dying her hair, she asked Antoni to be out of the room. And the dye product that she used to performance is the specific brand that her mother always uses.

Also, I think this is a very successful feminism art piece. There is a criticism with Abstract Expressionism being a masculine action. She is very smart to use her hair and the hair dye product, which are associated with women’s obsession to have beautiful hair to mimic the Abstract Expressionism. I wish that I could have been there during the performance. I admire her works for being both personal and critical.
