Movable Measures

“Movable Measures” is a participatory artwork that will confront gallery-goers with installed objects and situations that unsettle, unbalance and amplify their movements in the space. A variety of measuring devices, such as laser levels, foldable rulers, video projections, and a hinged floor that tilts and shifts slightly with each step, offer experiences that momentarily disorient how people walk through the gallery. The installation and video projections aim to activate visitors’ senses to become aware of how one uses them to measure, attune and adapt their movements to respond to the installation. “Movable Measures” requires we mobilize our attention to ‘measures’ across a variety of scales, locations, and motions.
