Here are the photos of the pieces featured in the last show
Three booths in the forms of honey combs for 32 hours in public space in central Berlin around the Brandenburg Gate and the Charité Hospital. These sculptures served as mobile video studios inside, where pedestrians were asked to give theirs individual statements to the topic of SUSTANABILITY – Climate Change – Value Change.
A short documentary of the project is available here .

I am having an art show at The Layover / DepARTure gallery in downtown Oakland. Opening on March 4th: 1517 Franklin Street & intersection of 15th street.
HERE IS WHAT TO EXPECT:
This is a participatory event that utilizes data-visualization of various issues, local, national and global, pertaining to the time and place surrounding us. The utility of various data mash-ups creates perspective and new way of looking a issues, meanwhile it is an attempt at making sense of what it is to create social change in a world where we are constantly bombarded with more information than we can process. In opposition to the dominant paradigm that “the truth will set you free” I propose “the truth will give you anxiety and paralysis” This project is an active dialogue between these two ideas with the attempt to provide a forum for people to put forth their own ideas of how they would like to solve problems pertaining to their world.
