“Labor with Help” — performed in an empty apartment during the summer of 2013:

2 minute video excerpt:

We were commissioned by Chabot Space Center to participate in a project titled Green Machine Design Challenge which involved asking kids visiting the Climate Lab exhibition to draw their ideas of helping us to live more sustainably.  We were provided with hundreds of great ideas and had to choose one. That drawing was the “Rainmaker” a design by 8 year old Dylan from Danville. His idea was to build a solar powered machine that would suck up ocean water, remove the salt , turn the water into steam that would seed the clouds (“rainbow clouds”) and create a place for kids to play in the rain. From our studio,  second hand stores, hardware stores, and in the street we found materials to assemble the Rainmaker.

We are calling these “purgative pants” or “entropic pants” or “occu-pants”. Soon, when they are finished, we will don them and perform a purgative together. One pair sounds like the woods, and the other sounds like water.

In August we recorded this birdlist at Ridgeway National Wildlife Refuge in Washington while we were visiting artists at Pacific Northwest College of Art.
