Dott 07: Revealing the Invisible

It's been a few years since I worked on this installation in the UK but I was thinking a bit about space and place since being holed up back in Pittsburgh during the winter months. A couple of years back I headed over to England to work with DOTT (Design of the Times) which is a federally supported 10 year project exploring what life in a sustainable world could look like. I was on a team with a handful of artists and designers and our gig was to see what it would take to support sustainable tourism based on the industrial heritage of NE England. What transpired was a 14 day discovery > design charette resulting in Revealing the Invisible--a series of light-based installations which illuminated the missing elements of Allendale's industrial past.
