I LOVE THE CAVEBASEMENT! It's perfect! Thank you for posting that video, it made it much clearer for me in my head. Kate's visit to New Orleans was not only a fantastic time, but a very productive brainstorming sesh. We held meetings daiy and kind of narrowed things down to these ideas and plans of creation:

1) absence as a value
2) liminal space travel
3) wishful thinking

Kate- Wishing Well and Porthole

Vanessa- Packaging Molds and Projector Jam

Me- CAVEBASEMENT projection and Steamboat Organized Neatly ala
I'll elaborate:
The CAVEBASEMENT really sparked my interest because when I was in Iceland, I saw a photography exhibition about one of the coal minors that was buried underground for 50 days in Mexico a few years ago. One of those poor souls was a triathlete and continued his exercise regimin underground by tying lumber to his body, climbing up and down the course etc, see picture above. I thought these pictures were an amazing example of facing adversity and somehow keeping our goals ahead of us. Anyway if this I wanted to create a projector that was inside of a coal mining helmet, so the place where the light is, projects images or video vignettes of solitude or hope. Haven't really figured out that aspect of things yet but I think it'll look really poetic.
Also Kate and I were talking about possible shapes etc. to create to use for a neon light piece or maybe collect tiny little objects and create a shape, or cut a shape out of mesh window screening- we saw this done at an exhibition in NOLA it looked like helicopter shapes and when the overlapped it darkened...
