Dreamspace
Jeff Hoefs & Peter Chester (Sound Analogous)
$1000

Jeff & Peter initially constructed a sculpture that embodied a terminal which responded with sound to the movement of a person around it. With their grant in 2003, a second sculpture was created and placed in a location remote to the first sculpture. The sculptures were linked, and participants “communicated” with one another by responding to the each other’s sounds.


The Tunnel of Transformation
Michael Moss, Charlie Smith
$1000

Michael Moss brought Charlie Smith’s latest sculptural delight, the Tunnel of Transformation, on its maiden voyage to Burning Man. After the event, Michael & Charlie took the Tunnel of Transformation to it’s next stop-over with the help of a Black Rock Arts Foundation grant in 2003.
