CHARTS 2006 -2009

A Chart is a visual representation of data as function of some quantity. They Are given in the form of a two dimensional graph, the vertical axis being the data and the horizontal axis the quantity on which they depend. Thus the Charts offer at a glance the understanding of this relation ship, using a minimum of text. Maps that are supplied with extra information and are know as nautical charts or aeronautical charts.

The works exhibited are three dimensional interpretations of charts from the New York stock exchange of companies dealing with alternative energy, as well as of weather maps and of histograms of compensations of companies executives during the period of the financial crisis of 2006. The materials used are -recycled water bottles, used electrical wires, drinking straws, broken glass from the December 2009 demonstrations in Athens, Greece.

AIRBOX 2003 -2006

Airbox is a multi-media installation with a monochromatic mobile bunker as a center piece, supported by instructional drawings, protective gas masks, a video documenting the assembly sequence of the mobile bunker and original sound score by Beau Velasco.

Airbox is an attempt to create a functional life-protection system. The exterior shell is easily recognizable as a replica of a shipping container, a utilitarian form that has been perfected for transportation. The user enters the bunker through a decontamination room into a living space, which houses an air-purification system, a utility station and a lavatory. The mobile bunker made of semi-transparent corrugated plastic (polypropylene), blurs the boundary between privacy and public scrutiny. The whole structure is composed of small, modular units. The materials used for the interior artifacts -white foam core, white cardboard and clear vinyl- create the impression of an austere, isolated and sterile environment.
