Six Degrees of Attachment, my most recent collaboration with Nathaniel Lieb, has taken off! After launching at CONFLUX this October, we now have hearts in Chicago, IL, Oakland, CA, Nags Head, NC, Boone, IA, Takoma Park, MD, and all over the greater New York City area.

Check out our map to see where our 33 hearts are traveling.

You can see pictures and stories on our photo page. Here’s a preview:

Oculus photos

Thanks to everyone who came out to Bring to Light and saw Oculus, a video sculpture by Nathaniel Lieb and me.

Special thanks to Morgen Stevens-Garmon, who fabricated and installed with us, and to David Spritzler and Nathan Kensinger for participating in installation and de-installation. Thanks also to Nathan Kensinger and Ed Watkins for taking beautiful photographs of the piece.

For those of you who missed it, Oculus is a large sculpture of an eye made of coroplast plastic, with a video of the sunset view on the Greenpoint waterfront projected into it. It was installed at the end of Noble Street near West Street in Brooklyn as part of the Bring to Light NYC festival on October 2, 2010.

Enjoy these photos!

I visited Attachment with my brother on Thursday — here’s some updated photos. You can see it (and participate) on the 2nd Floor of the Gay and Lesbian Center at 208 West 13th Street near 7th Avenue in NYC through the end of August 2009.

Then and Now Opening Pics

Thanks to all who came out to the opening! It was amazing to see the way Attachment evolved. Nathaniel and I were surprised and delighted to see people create things we didn’t even imagine. The piece is up until Sept. 4, so please stop by The Center to participate and watch it grow (208 West 13th Street, near 7th Avenue, 2nd Floor, 9am-11pm daily).

I will post pictures throughout the summer. A couple people took really beautiful ones at the opening. Here are a selection of Megan Cronin’s:

…and some from Johnny Lowe:

Deep appreciation for the photographers!
