Playa Dome
The playa dome represents the feeling of one of the most common structures seen on the playa. The projections will focus on bringing the feelings and visions of the playa.
Just some of the amazing performers who will be there!

Preserved Embryos
One of two shadow boxes with four vials, each with one chicken embryo embedded in epoxy.
I want to make people look at embryos in a way they haven't seen before if ever.

Jessica Sallay-Carrington
Ceramist
The qualities unique to each species is what inspires me to create animal forms. How beautifully they were designed by nature to flourish in their habitat and adapt to changes in their environment. These creatures depend on nothing more than themselves and the earth under their feet to live happily.
In my work I try to enhance the connection between animals and people, or to help create one if there isn't any. It is very important that people keep a relationship with these creatures which inhabit the earth with us, we cannot live without them.

Jodi Sharp Patron Saint of Adulters
According to a study released 2012, in 41% of marriages one or both spouses admit to infidelity, either physical or emotional, and 54% of women say the've committed adultery in any relationship they've had. (Associated Press Journal of Marital and Family Therapy, 2012)
Although there are many saints available for those who have been victims of adultery, there are almost none that are available to pray to for those who have ever gone outside of a primary relationship to meet a need.
This project provides the artist herself as a saint who has gone through it all, and still believes in her own ability to be holy. Giving hope to others that there's still someone to pray to when confused about love and non-normative relationships, and providing grace and acceptance for those who have ever made the mistake of hurting someone they loved. Even if the person you have to pray to is yourself.

Cat Wearing Rosa Bear Costume Street Opera Series
Through soft interventions of pace, RosaBear presents a repertoire of absurd operas composed of nomadic textile sculptures, sound collage, dramatic re-enactments of the lifeworld, and immediate, improvised reactions to the context in which it presents itself. A combination between the mundane and the spectacular presenting the viewer with the familiar and the unfamiliar, yet to do it un such a way that their attention is not focused directly upon the uncertainty of what they are being presenting with so that they may not be led into the matter of clearing it up immediately. Pure indulgence in experience; providing a collage of information without wanting to generate knowledge. RosaBear is not responsible for the ripple effect of visual, psychological and emotional effects on its audience. Participation from the audience is highly encouraged.

Staring Contest
Totenkitten Research & Development Centers have conducted human experimentation to determine what keeps populaces docile and obedient. Our data indicates that 'entertainment' is an effective method of distracting citizens from the ongoing consolidation of control. Our supercomputers have developed an Entertainment Node titled Staring Contest. It is a game. You will experience 'entertainment.' Because we are true to the nature of existence, there is no way to win.

RIPPED ART
Get ripped, make art!
Starting with a canvas made with found vintage wallpaper, we encourage everyone to pARTicipate by grabbing a paintbrush and expressing themselves over the subtle organic wallpaper pattern. There are no limits, no boundaries; only colourful self-expression! Takes place after the tie-dyeing is completed, but you can see its party-painted twin on display all night.

El Gato Más Gordo
El Gato Más Gordo is a giant cat sculpture on Rambla Raval in Barcelona’s old city. Obviously, the best bar in town is when you gather a few friends and help each other to climb up to the top of El Gato Más Gordo, and have a few cerveza-beers.
Amélie
On a visit from Québec, Amélie saw this stencil of her smiling face on an art-covered door in Raval, just as a small group was admiring the equally-decorated doors nearby. It was the Barcelona street art tour. Now they tell the story of the Québécois in Spain who stenciled his far-off girlfriend’s face around town.

The Ossificatorium
I’m currently producing works that function as biomimetic new media objects. These objects simulate the process of designed bone formation through a process of “mock ossification”. Hog gut is utilized as a substitute substrate, instead of collagen, in the construction of textile-based scaffolding that tissue cultures could potentially populate. Several experiments with relevant minerals, to grow crystal formations on the gut scaffolding have resulted in the beginnings of fake bone formation.
