1. PING

   PING uses a telephone menu system to distribute active commands to participants who call in using cellular telephones. The choices made by the caller when navigating the telephone system produce directions for physical movement through the city.

   PING comes out of psychogeographical inquiry, which focuses on the study of the effects of the environment on the perception, behaviour and mood of individuals. PING is intended to explore the interface between disparate fields such as situationist thought that focuses on subjective mood, generative psychogeography which introduces algorithms as a way to inspire movement through urban space, existentialism, and the interpolation of digital metaphors onto physical, analog space.

3. Core Sample

   Core Sample is a GPS-based interactive sound walk and corresponding sound sculpture that evokes
   the material and cultural histories contained in and suggested by the landscape of Spectacle Island.
   The piece engages the extended landscape of Boston Harbor as bound by the new Boston Institute of
   Contemporary Art building on the downtown waterfront, and Spectacle Island, a former dump and
   reclaimed landfill park visible just off the coast. The two sites function dialogically, questioning
   what is seen versus what is not seen, what is preserved and recorded versus what is suppressed and
   denied. (Source: Project website)
