STICKY LIGHT: a new interactive medium (Thesis Project): "Softly Spoken," a participatory ritual facilitated in July 2006 and again for DANM in May 2007, is an expression of the magic in the mundane and a summoning of the latent connection and compassion between strangers. A bit of the ritual was facilitated by leaf on June 8th, 2007. “Sticky Light,” programmed for "Softly Spoken" by Phoenix Toews, selectively projects video onto specific color values, allowing the artist to sculpt with light. Visitors were able to explore this new medium for the duration of the exhibit.
