Active Ecosystem (SMF) consists of a series of 14 LCD screens mounted across the glass surface of a three-story elevator shaft in the airport’s new ticketing hall. Animations controlled by the rise and fall of the elevator depict changes in different ecosystems, linking the human movement within the airport to the environment outside.

The Sacramento Airport is hosting a free Community Day on October 2nd where the public can view the piece, along with the 14 other commissions located pre- and post- security.

The event is free, but requires an RSVP here.

Since Active Ecosystem (SMF) is pre-security, you can also see the piece anytime after the airport officially opens on October 6.

Shifting Time – San Jose is an interactive video installation that juxtaposes the past and present, where the viewer’s body becomes the interface to navigate between.  In this piece, commissioned by the City of San Jose for the new terminal of the San Jose International airport, viewers encounter a projected still image.  As they walk closer to the projection wall, the surface disrupts, pushing deeper into time in the pre-recorded video clips.  Archival film footage blends with high-definition footage from the present, and viewers are able to travel back and forth through time by moving towards and away from the projection wall.
