Souvenirs for Invisible City Audio Tours

I have been working on a project about MacArthur BART Station for the Invisible City Audio Tour of the area entitled "Heliography," which you can download onto your mpthree playing device and enjoy while taking an informative and edjucational walking tour. Check out the tour website! No, really do - some very cool people have put a lot of work into making it.

The art project I've been working on consists of two parts. First is a 16 minute video, a preview of which is below.

The video will be on display at (websiteless?) "Keys that Fit" Space near the 23rd St Gallery conglomeration in Oakland.

I have also made a couple dozen "souvenirs" that, along with souvenirs by many other visual artists, will be displayed and sold at the MacArthur BART Station stop of the tour next Friday, September 3 from 5 PM until dark (around 8 PM).

This project involved me spending one day riding the BART from 4:20 AM until after midnight to get the shots I needed, and digging through mounds of horrifically gross gutter trash looking for hidden treasure. Which I found. Well, my claim is that this trash is now treasure. But come judge for yourselves...

The objects that appear in these glasstop bins are the same that appear in the video.

So, please put next Friday's event on your calendar! Hope to see you there!
