Beware of the Dandelions
Beware of the Dandelions is a mobile art installation that functions as a performance, workshop space, and visual arts exhibition. The piece is created from the intersection of disciplines including: community organizing, design, hip-hop and electronic music, architecture, and theater. The experience occurs inside a 400 square foot polyhedron dome-like pod structure capable of enveloping 30 participants at a time. The performance and generative visuals are projected into the pod to create an immersive visual and sound experience that incorporates sci-fi narratives, music, and interactive game elements.
Beware of The Dandelions has been presented at On The Boards (Seattle), Southern Methodist University (Dallas), Charles H. Wright Museum for African American History (Detroit), and Talking Dolls (Detroit).
