DOMINO MODELS

These are models of chance and complexity.

Untitled (Domino Theory) concerns the vulnerability of systems brought about by human action, especially anthropogenic climate change. I create a state of self-organized criticality to explore interactions between environment, system and observer. Migration can result from flooding and political turmoil, consequences of global warming. To exemplify this, I suspended a platform precariously upon which dominoes (“homes”) were positioned along migration routes on a map. Viewers must avoid toppling the structure.  When viewed through AR, a video is triggered of floods toppling "homes," suggesting how one’s actions influence the configuration of the entirety, key to our ability to ameliorate environmental disaster. This AR project was exhibited in Yerevan, Armenia and sponsored by the remarkable association, Cyland.
