Out to Dry
by Dan Senn
Consists of 32 photo
scans of my face pressed against glass hung beneath the suspended
frame shown in the photo. Two video run continuously behind the
hanging photos: a color video of a mapping of inner-city weeds
taken in downtown Tacoma in the spring of 1993 and the other,
an percussive animation of my face as seen in the photo scans
and played back over an old b/w television. The sound track for
one video machine consists of the text called Appealaspeile,
an account of the bureaucratic ousting of a committed artist from
a company position written and read in a style reminiscent of
Kafka work. The stereo sound track for the other video is a real-time
feedback improvisation from Scrapercussion
#7 made for "No Art Arts Day" in New York City
in 1989.

The Trampoline Family
by Dan Senn
Consists of three "trampolines"
each featuring the crushed face of three children held in a transparency
stretched within a pine dowel frame. The rusted mesh on each trampoline
acts as a Theremin which senses view proximity (closeness) with
the resulting tone transmitted over piezo speakers attached to
the back of the scanned photographs (the photo act redundantly
as a speaker diaphram).
