StoryBox: ShadowBox, installation, W2 Storyeum

The Video/ New Media installation created by Sammy Chien and Krista Lomax called "ShadowBox", as part of the StoryBox Project in Surge Festival & New Form Festival 10. You can see this video installation outside of Cordova st. outside of W2 and right across from SFU Woodward's when the day gets darker.

The video is performed and shot by Krista Lomax and the texts are written by DTES communities participants into a text pool and Sammy Chien's algorithm is constantly selecting the videos, effects and the choices of texts in real-time. Hence the images and text are constantly aleatoric in their relationships, new poetic images may form by chance.


There are 2 openings for this installation. July 30th 8pm & August 6th 7pm.
Installation runs for 2 months.
