EVERYTHING WE KNEW ABOUT IT (2017)

Social engagement; Collaborate zine 

New York Hall of Science. Queens, New York

 

Visitors told me everything they knew about about a given subject (here, rats) telling me stories, drawing me pictures and diagrams, translating important vocabulary, and offering valuable speculation. Findings were collected into this small publication, produced on the office photocopier.

 

An exploration of the role of science, lateral knowledge building, and the question of what makes for a productive discourse, visitors helped me compile findings concerning our collective understanding of the rat as metaphor, interloper, and communal experience.

THE LONG AND THE SHORT OF IT (2017)

Social engagement; Collaborate zine 

New York Hall of Science. Queens, New York

 

A series of collaborative drawings made with visitors of all sizes at the New York Hall of Science. Drawings were made collaboratively between strangers who had to work together, some drawing from a high bridge, and others from the ground. Drawings were displayed throughout the space and continually added to.
