Artist Statement:

The work of Stardog Interactive explores the interface between the tangible world we live in and the intangible digital world of new technology where we are increasingly asked to spend our time.

This project is an interactive multimedia installation that examines movement in nature and compares it to movement of information in the digital world. Through drawing in a bed of sand, the audience explores video, animation, and sounds that portray “physical streaming” in a VRML world. The sand interface represents the transient area between land and sea, between tangible and intangible environments.
