An “opening act” for a heavily advertised musical performance taking place inside the DIA's Detroit Film Theater. 

The attending patrons unknowingly drove over a road sensor on the one-way street in front of the theater as they arrived.  Through custom software the sound of air blowing over a PA (inside the theater & out) as well as a nearby space heater that would determine body temperature were simultaneously triggered.  An in-mouth contact mic amplified any teeth chattering, determined by the change in temperature controlled by the passing cars.

This public interaction grew out of an art parade invitation in Brooklyn, NY.  Inspired directly by an invitation to participate and, at the time, a little known acoustic technology - a hypersonic speaker.

This poster series explores the different aspects of Detroit’s 'Devil’s Night’ phenomena, fueled by research conducted by the German Government.

The city’s ‘Angel’s Night’ PR Campaign provides an inspiration for the presentation format.  The posters have exhibited internationally as part of a larger research effort on urban shrinkage...and despite such a monumental effort driven by another country's interest in understanding such issues, the city of Detroit's government to date has not expressed it's own interest in this intense research effort of their own city or the resources now made available for anyone - continues to blow minds.

D99-splash.swf Download this file

This storefront redesign was inspired by Hamtramck's main shopping strip, Joseph Campau, which at the time was home to a local design store during a December holiday season.

Executed through custom-cut window vinyl. Custom-built light boxes light up the text at the top of the store's windows letting light pour from the bottom of the boxes simultaneously to illuminate the vinyl and Design99's fine wares.  From the street the word 'Design' is only revealed at night when backlit.  During the day, illuminated only by daylight, it reads 'Tis the Season'. 

A variety of Hamtramck-specific characters doing various activities fill the bottom of the windows.
