I.C.A.R.U.S., was a collaboration with Hong Duck Chea, Jerel Dye, Pete Froslie, Jake Lee High, Carolyn Shadid, and Chris Wawrinofsky, as part of the Boston Cyberarts Festival, Doran Gallery, Mass College of Art.
This
large scale installation, accompanied by two evenings of performance, set out to question our reliance on the Internet as a primary source of entertainment and information. The I.C.A.R.U.S. space crew (pictured below) sought to explore our changing definition of play and escapism by constructing a rocket ship that offered a simulated experience of space travel. Visitors to the gallery were invited to board the vessel made primarily from salvaged material(cardboard, plastic, tape, felt, and other diiscared goods), there were also two nights of performance during which the entire crew boarded the vessel and offered "departures " to space every half hour.
